Dani Alves has penned a farewell letter to Juventus fans, stating that his decision to leave has nothing to do with money as a move to Manchester City looks certain. He however did not state clearly his reason for deciding to leave, apart from saying he has a spontaneous reaction to life. Maybe the spontaneous reaction that some cool cash can spur or it has always been his childhood dream to play for Manchester City.
“I would like to thank all the Juventus fans for the year I experienced, the teammates for welcoming me like the professionals that they are, for a club that wins and reaches finals.
“I think that my respect for this club and its supporters was my dedication, my passion and all the efforts to make this club a greater club every single day.
“I apologise to the Juventus fans if sometimes they thought I had done something to offend them. This was never my intention, I just have a very spontaneous approach to life that few understand… although it appears that I am not perfect, however, my heart is pure.
“Today ends our professional relationship and I will take with me all of those who with love and true heart make Juve a great club. As everyone knows, I always say what I think and feel…
“I feel that I should say thank you to Mr Marotta for the opportunity he gave me, he’s a great professional and someone who loves his job like few others…
“I don’t play football for money, I play football because I love the profession and those who are part of it. I leave it up to you to judge what I have done and worked for.
“I love football and money will never keep me in any place.”
Juventus chief executive Beppe Marotta confirmed last week that Alves would be released from his current contract, despite having one more year remaining on a two-year deal with the Italian champions.
