Ronald Koeman has sought to distance Barcelona from speculation suggesting that Dani Alves could be brought back to Camp Nou, with the Dutchman claiming that no discussions regarding a deal have been held.
The legendary Brazilian right-back has offered his services to the Liga giants following his release by Sao Paulo, with the 38-year-old telling Sport: "If Barca think they need me, they just have to call me."
Alves previously spent eight years in Catalunya between 2008 and 2016, taking in 391 appearances while helping Barca to 14 domestic trophies, three Champions League crowns, three UEFA Super Cups and three Club World Cups.

He told reporters when asked about Alves: “I don't know anything about this issue.
