Dani Alves

Alves was born in Juazeiro, a city in the Brazilian state of Bahia, to father Domingos Alves da Silva, a farmer. He played football with the neighboring kids. Alves' father had a passion for football as well, and eventually managed to organize his own football team. Alves, at age 6, started as a winger, but because of the lack of goals he scored, his father re-positioned him as a right back, a position he still plays up to this day. Alves worked as a farmer and a trader in his youth.{{cite web|title=Biography|url=http://www.danialves.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23&Itemid=8&lang=en|website=Dani Alves — Biography|access-date=14 July 2014|archive-date=11 May 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140511031654/http://www.danialves.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23&Itemid=8&lang=en|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|title=Daniel Alves|url=http://www.footballtop.com/players/daniel-alves|website=FootballTop.com|access-date=14 July 2014|archive-date=15 July 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140715010840/http://www.footballtop.com/players/daniel-alves|url-status=live}}

Alves made his professional debut for Bahia in a match against Paraná Clube for the 2001 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. Bahia won 3–0, with Alves providing two assists and winning a penalty for the other goal. Head coach Evaristo de Macedo thereafter gave him a starting place in the team. In Bahia, he won the 2002 Copa do Nordeste. His consistently good performances landed him a transfer, at first on loan, to Spanish side Sevilla, midway through 2002.{{cite web|url=http://www.bahianoticias.com.br/esportes/noticias/2009/06/26/5463,daniel-alves-da-bahia-para-o-sucesso.html|title=Daniel Alves: da Bahia para o sucesso|publisher=Esporte Clube Bahia|date=26 June 2009|access-date=7 January 2011|language=pt|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706152142/http://www.bahianoticias.com.br/esportes/noticias/2009/06/26/5463%2Cdaniel-alves-da-bahia-para-o-sucesso.html|archive-date=6 July 2011}}

After 2002–03, on loan to Sevilla from Bahia, Alves travelled to play in the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship, where he impressed as Brazil won the tournament. He was named the third-best player of the tournament and, after this, the Sevilla move was made permanent.

In June 2006, Sevilla agreed to sell Alves to Liverpool, but Liverpool were unable to match Sevilla's asking price of around £8 million.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/5078450.stm|title=Liverpool cleared to sign Alves|date=15 June 2006|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=27 April 2009|archive-date=23 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190623085637/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/5078450.stm|url-status=live}} In December 2006, he signed a new contract with Sevilla, tying him to the club until 2012.{{cite web |url=http://www.uefa.com/competitions/uefacup/news/kind=1/newsid=493082.html |title=Sevilla keep hold of Alves |publisher=UEFA |date=22 December 2006 |access-date=29 May 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070103062705/http://www.uefa.com/competitions/uefacup/news/kind%3D1/newsid%3D493082.html |archive-date=3 January 2007}} He had a successful 2006–07 season, making 47 appearances and scoring 5 goals. He played in every one of Sevilla's UEFA Cup matches, in a competition which the club went on to win.

From his years in Spain, Alves acquired Spanish citizenship, thus allowing him to bypass any non-EU quota restrictions and exempting him from needing a work permit to play in any EU countries.{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2008/02/15/ufnalves115.xml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080219152013/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?xml=/sport/2008/02/15/ufnalves115.xml |url-status=dead |archive-date=19 February 2008 |title=Alves alerts Chelsea and Tottenham |date=15 February 2008 |access-date=11 May 2009 |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |last=Caroe |first=Charlie }}

On 2 July 2008, Alves joined Barcelona, leaving Sevilla in tears and saying he would love to play for the club again.

He signed a four-year contract with Barcelona, which included a buy-out clause of €90 million.

Alves made his competitive and European debuts for Barcelona against Wisła Kraków in the 2008–09 UEFA Champions League third-round qualifiers on 13 August 2008.{{cite web |url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/match?id=252050&cc=5901 |title=Soccernet match stats |date=13 August 2008 |access-date=11 May 2009 |publisher=ESPNsoccernet |archive-date=23 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023181008/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/match?id=252050&cc=5901 |url-status=dead }} He made his La Liga debut in the Liga season-opener away to Numancia on 31 August 2008.{{cite web |url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=252793&cc=5901&league=ESP.1 |title=Soccernet match report |date=2 September 2008 |access-date=11 May 2009 |publisher=ESPNsoccernet |archive-date=23 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023181013/http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=252793&cc=5901&league=ESP.1 |url-status=dead }} Later on in his debut season, he missed the 2009 UEFA Champions League Final due to a yellow-card suspension, although Barcelona nonetheless defeated Manchester United 2–0 to complete the treble after also winning La Liga and the 2008–09 Copa del Rey.

In his second season at Barça, the club retained the Liga title and won the 2009 FIFA Club World Cup. In the 2010–11 season, Alves was instrumental in Barcelona's winning of their third consecutive Liga title.

On 28 May 2011, Alves played in his first Champions League final as Barcelona defeated Manchester United 3–1 at Wembley Stadium to win its fourth European Cup.

In 2011–12, Alves was part of a Barcelona team that won the Copa del Rey and the Club World Cup. In 2012–13, Alves won the Liga title for the fourth time in his five seasons at Barça.

In 2013–14, Alves wore shirt number 22, formerly worn by his friend Eric Abidal, to whom he offered to donate part of his liver during Abidal's treatment for liver cancer.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/sep/16/eric-abidal-dani-alves-barcelona-liver |title=Eric Abidal says Dani Alves offered him part of his liver for transplant |website=The Guardian |agency=Associated Press |date=16 September 2013 |access-date=30 August 2014 |archive-date=29 May 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140529182003/http://www.theguardian.com/football/2013/sep/16/eric-abidal-dani-alves-barcelona-liver |url-status=live }}

São Paulo FC's footballing director Carlos Belmonte stated:

{{blockquote|Daniel Alves and Miranda were serving the Brazilian team and should have returned to start regular training for out next games [on Friday]. Miranda attended and trained normally, but Daniel Alves did not attend. We were then informed by his representatives that Daniel Alves will not return to São Paulo until the settlement of the debt that São Paulo has with the athlete. A debt that São Paulo recognises and last week made a proposal seeking the right outcome, which was not accepted by the representatives. From our point of view, we have taken the decision that Daniel Alves will no longer be available to play for São Paulo. São Paulo is more important than all of us.

Since then, São Paulo has agreed, in the same month, to pay Alves R$400,000 monthly over the next 5 years starting from January 2022. This is being done to cover the R$18 million debt at the time of the breakup, owing to the contract agreed in 2019, who São Paulo FC were increasingly unable to pay him then.{{cite news|title=Parcelas de R$ 400 mil por cinco anos: entenda como é o acordo feito por São Paulo e Daniel Alves [R$400,000 per month over five years: learn how is the deal done by São Paulo and Daniel Alves]|url=https://ge.globo.com/futebol/times/sao-paulo/noticia/parcelas-de-r-400-mil-por-cinco-anos-entenda-como-e-o-acordo-feito-por-sao-paulo-e-daniel-alves.ghtml|author1=André Hernan|author2=José Edgar de Matos|date=10 September 2021|website=Globo|access-date=3 December 2022|language=pt-BR|archive-date=4 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221204015829/https://ge.globo.com/futebol/times/sao-paulo/noticia/parcelas-de-r-400-mil-por-cinco-anos-entenda-como-e-o-acordo-feito-por-sao-paulo-e-daniel-alves.ghtml|url-status=live}}

Regarded as one of the best full-backs of his generation, and of all time, Alves is an offensive right-back or wing-back who is known in particular for his pace, stamina, overlapping attacking runs, and technical skills, which also enable him to play in midfield, or as a winger; he is also gifted with good crossing accuracy and distribution, which allows him to link up with midfielders, and makes him an effective assist provider along the right flank. In addition to his ability to create chances, he is an accurate striker of the ball, and is known for his ability to score goals in particular from outside the area or long-range set-pieces.

Despite not being particularly imposing physically, he possesses significant strength and tenacity, which along with his energy, anticipation and work-rate, enable him to intercept passes or chase down and press opponents when not in possession, thus allowing him to aid his team both offensively and defensively. However, despite his skill and offensive ability, he has drawn criticism at times in the media for neglecting the defensive aspect of his game.{{cite web|url=http://www.espnfc.us/club/barcelona/83/blog/post/2467223/dani-alves-worth-his-weight-in-gold|title=Barcelona hero Dani Alves worth his weight in gold amid contract impasse|publisher=ESPN FC|first1=Andy|last1=Brassell|date=26 May 2015|access-date=29 August 2016|archive-date=11 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160911013048/http://www.espnfc.us/club/barcelona/83/blog/post/2467223/dani-alves-worth-his-weight-in-gold|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/722/la-liga/2016/06/27/24108642/farewell-dani-alves-messis-chief-assistant-and-the-best-full|title=Farewell Dani Alves – Messi's chief assistant and the best full-back in Barcelona's history|publisher=Goal.com|first1=Ben|last1=Hayward|date=27 June 2016|access-date=29 August 2016|archive-date=12 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160812092249/http://www.goal.com/en/news/722/la-liga/2016/06/27/24108642/farewell-dani-alves-messis-chief-assistant-and-the-best-full/?|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/723/serie-a/2016/06/27/24153732/how-juventus-could-line-up-with-dani-alves|title=How Juventus could line up with Dani Alves|publisher=Goal.com|first1=Romeo|last1=Agresti|date=27 July 2016|access-date=29 August 2016|archive-date=6 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160806180433/http://www.goal.com/en/news/723/serie-a/2016/06/27/24153732/how-juventus-could-line-up-with-dani-alves|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://www.danialves.com/en/who-am-i/career|title=Career – Dani Alves|website=danialves.com|access-date=29 August 2016|archive-date=27 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160827105718/http://www.danialves.com/en/who-am-i/career|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://www.espn.com/sports/soccer/blog/_/name/martin_james/id/6249372/why-dani-alves-best-right-back-game|title=Dani Alves is the game's best right back|publisher=ESPN FC|first1=James|last1=Martin|date=23 March 2011|access-date=29 August 2016|archive-date=11 September 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160911103313/http://www.espn.com/sports/soccer/blog/_/name/martin_james/id/6249372/why-dani-alves-best-right-back-game|url-status=live}}{{cite web |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2741887-dani-alves-reveals-he-pretty-much-had-liverpool-transfer-agreement-in-2006 |title=Dani Alves Reveals He 'Pretty Much' Had Liverpool Transfer Agreement in 2006 |publisher=Bleacher Report |last1=Jones |first1=Matt |date=1 November 2017 |access-date=1 October 2019 |archive-date=1 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191001014422/https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2741887-dani-alves-reveals-he-pretty-much-had-liverpool-transfer-agreement-in-2006 |url-status=live }}

During his time with Paris Saint-Germain, he also played as a central midfielder on occasion.{{cite web |url=http://www.espn.com/soccer/club/paris-saint-germain/160/blog/post/3757677/dani-alves-and-eric-maxim-choupo-moting-both-7-out-of-10-but-neymar-injured-in-coupe-de-france |title=Dani Alves, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting both 7/10 but Neymar injured in PSG's cup win |publisher=ESPN FC |first1=Jonathan |last1=Johnson |date=23 January 2019 |access-date=25 January 2019 |archive-date=26 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190126061122/http://www.espn.com/soccer/club/paris-saint-germain/160/blog/post/3757677/dani-alves-and-eric-maxim-choupo-moting-both-7-out-of-10-but-neymar-injured-in-coupe-de-france |url-status=live }} He continued to play in a free role in midfield during his time with São Paulo, citing his desire to play in the middle in order to have more touches on the ball as the reason for this tactical switch, as out wide he had felt more isolated, and less capable of creating chances for his team.{{cite web |url=https://sport.sky.it/calcio-estero/altri-campionati/2019/09/21/dani-alves-san-paolo-non-vuole-piu-fare-il-terzino.html |title=Dani Alves vuole cambiare ruolo: "Da terzino tocco pochi palloni" |publisher=sport.sky.it |language=it |date=21 September 2019 |access-date=1 October 2019 |archive-date=1 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191001014422/https://sport.sky.it/calcio-estero/altri-campionati/2019/09/21/dani-alves-san-paolo-non-vuole-piu-fare-il-terzino.html |url-status=live }} Regarding his unique interpretation of the full-back role throughout his career, Alves commented in 2019:

{{blockquote|I'm a full-back who plays a combination game. But here – because of the characteristics of Brazilian football, the way the team plays and, a lot of times, the teammates – you don't have so many [short-passing] combinations. If I play in the position I did for 20 years, I can't interfere as much in the game. When I get involved, I help my teammates to become better. It's been like that my whole career – at Bahia, Sevilla, Barcelona, Juventus and PSG. Those clubs have a history of having done that for a while. Here, the coach changes all the time and you're always trying to adapt to the coach you have. In my position in the middle I'm better for my teammates. I'll be sincere, I created a new way of playing as a full-back. No false modesty. I am always adapting to my teammates. If they're wide, I'll go into the middle. If they're attacking, I'll help with the control. If the ball's on the other side, I tuck in. I play as a creative midfielder from the back. Barcelona gave me this understanding. When I played with Xavi or Rakiti[ć], there was always a player controlling the game. If I was wide, Xavi or Rakiti[ć] were behind me. Seeing them play, I thought: 'When you have a winger who stays wide, you need to stay in the area of control.' At São Paulo, my challenge is to be able to understand my teammates and to combine with them as well as possible.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/sep/27/dani-alves-crazy-good-barcelona-pep-guardiola-brazil-sao-paulo |title=Dani Alves: 'If you win without effort, you triumph with no glory at all' |work=The Guardian |last1=Law |first1=Joshua |last2=Sanderson |first2=Tom |date=27 September 2019 |access-date=1 October 2019 |archive-date=1 October 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191001024204/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/sep/27/dani-alves-crazy-good-barcelona-pep-guardiola-brazil-sao-paulo |url-status=live }}}}

In the first version, Alves told media outlet Antena 3 that he did not know the woman, and accused her of trying to become famous by making her allegation. He implied that he entered the bathroom not knowing that she was already inside using it, but this was contradicted by surveillance footage. After understanding that evidence had been collected against him and the above account was part of the evidence, Alves changed his story in court. In the second version, Alves admitted that he had entered the bathroom first before the woman, and that inside the bathroom, he had defecated in the toilet with the woman beside him, and nothing sexual occurred. When Alves was questioned on why the woman would remain in the small bathroom with him for 15 minutes doing nothing, or why his semen had been found on the bathroom floor, Alves changed his story again. In the third version, he said that the woman had performed fellatio on him in the bathroom. On 17 April 2023, Alves testified in court to a different version of events, claiming that he had consensual sexual intercourse with the woman during the incident; Alves also said that he earlier denied the sexual activity because he wanted to save his marriage.{{cite news |last1=Faus |first1=Joan |last2=Landauro |first2=Inti |title=Brazilian defender Dani Alves claims consensual sex in assault case |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/brazilian-defender-dani-alves-claims-consensual-sex-assault-case-2023-04- |access-date=18 April 2023 |work=Reuters |date=17 April 2023}}{{cite news |title=Alves tells judge he had consensual sex with alleged victim |url=https://apnews.com/article/dani-alves-sexual-assault-testifies-4f41d58bae8657c0a4e47b9b25d347b5 |access-date=18 April 2023 |work=Associated Press |date=17 April 2023 |archive-date=17 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230417213854/https://apnews.com/article/dani-alves-sexual-assault-testifies-4f41d58bae8657c0a4e47b9b25d347b5 |url-status=live }} By February 2023, at least eight witnesses provided testimony, and it was reported that the crime could receive prosecution through Spain's recently passed 2022 consensual sex law which expanded the legal definition of sexual assault in Spain.{{cite news |title=Judge hears 8 witnesses in Dani Alves sexual assault case |url=https://apnews.com/article/sports-soccer-dani-alves-spain-barcelona-0cc2980430c170901273c0b0dfec76ed |access-date=20 December 2023 |work=Associated Press |date=3 February 2023 |archive-date=28 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230428131626/https://apnews.com/article/sports-soccer-dani-alves-spain-barcelona-0cc2980430c170901273c0b0dfec76ed |url-status=live }} In his fifth version, which was detailed by El Periódico on 17 January 2024, Alves claimed he was severely impaired by alcohol consumption.{{cite news|url=https://www.elperiodico.com/es/sociedad/20240117/dani-alves-alegara-iba-borracho-violacion-97020102|title=Quinta versión de Dani Alves: el jugador alega ahora que iba borracho y no era consciente de sus actos|first1=J.G.|last1=Albalat|first2=Germán|last2=González|publisher=El Periódico|date=17 January 2024|accessdate=31 January 2024|archive-date=9 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240209182216/https://www.elperiodico.com/es/sociedad/20240117/dani-alves-alegara-iba-borracho-violacion-97020102|url-status=live}}

El Periódico reported in July 2023 that Alves' trial in Spain was originally scheduled to take place between October and November 2023, and no pretrial release should be granted to him until his trial finishes.{{Cite web |date=20 July 2023 |title=TV espanhola divulga primeira imagem de Daniel Alves após prisão por estupro, há 6 meses |url=https://oglobo.globo.com/esportes/noticia/2023/07/20/tv-espanhola-divulga-primeira-imagem-de-daniel-alves-apos-prisao-por-estupro-ha-6-meses.ghtml |access-date=27 July 2023 |website=O Globo |language=pt-br |archive-date=27 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230727005908/https://oglobo.globo.com/esportes/noticia/2023/07/20/tv-espanhola-divulga-primeira-imagem-de-daniel-alves-apos-prisao-por-estupro-ha-6-meses.ghtml |url-status=live }} However, when he was formally indicted on 2 August 2023, it was determined that a trial date would be set for later in the year or early in 2024.{{cite news |title=Dani Alves indicted in sexual assault case in Spain |url=https://apnews.com/article/dani-alves-sexual-assault-indicted-4de5f78e1f4acd3ff1517829cc4f6314 |access-date=20 December 2023 |work=Associated Press |date=2 August 2023 |archive-date=20 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231220165756/https://apnews.com/article/dani-alves-sexual-assault-indicted-4de5f78e1f4acd3ff1517829cc4f6314 |url-status=live }} He had previously been denied bail in May 2023 and was still in prison by February 2024.{{cite news|url=https://africa.espn.com/football/story/_/id/37638694/alves-denied-bail-again-spain-assault-investigation|title=Dani Alves denied bail again in Spain amid sexual assault investigation|first=Adriana|last=Garcia|publisher=ESPN|date=9 May 2023|accessdate=5 February 2024|archive-date=5 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240205162635/https://africa.espn.com/football/story/_/id/37638694/alves-denied-bail-again-spain-assault-investigation|url-status=live}} On 20 December 2023, a Barcelona-based court scheduled for his trial to begin on 5 February 2024.{{cite news |title=Soccer star Dani Alves' trial for alleged sexual assault to start in February |url=https://apnews.com/article/dani-alves-trial-sexual-assault-barcelona-10a6d7626588037d7d17b76e6b1ae4f0 |access-date=20 December 2023 |work=Associated Press |date=20 December 2023 |archive-date=20 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231220130237/https://apnews.com/article/dani-alves-trial-sexual-assault-barcelona-10a6d7626588037d7d17b76e6b1ae4f0 |url-status=live }}{{cite news|title=Dani Alves' sexual assault trial set for Feb. 5 in Barcelona|url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39153276/dani-alves-sexual-assault-trial-set-feb-5-barcelona|access-date=20 December 2023|work=ESPN|date=20 December 2023|archive-date=20 December 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231220160450/https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/39153276/dani-alves-sexual-assault-trial-set-feb-5-barcelona|url-status=live}} His trial would then begin on the scheduled date, and it lasted for three days.

During the first day of his trial, the presiding Provincial Court of Barcelona rejected Alves' bid to have the trial suspended.{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/brazilian-footballer-dani-alves-faces-sexual-assault-charge-spain-2024-02-05/|title=Brazilian footballer Alves' bid to suspend sexual assault trial rejected|first=Joan|last=Faus|publisher=Reuters|date=5 February 2024|accessdate=5 February 2024}} The woman who accused Alves of sexually assaulting her provided testimony via a closed-door session, talking from behind a screen and having her voice distorted in order to protect her identity. During the second day of the trial, Alves' wife Joana Sanz was among the witnesses who testified.{{cite news|url=https://www.catalannews.com/society-science/item/dani-alves-trial-day-2-former-footballers-wife-says-he-arrived-home-very-drunk|title=Dani Alves trial day 2: former footballer's wife says he arrived home 'very drunk'|publisher=Catalan News|date=6 February 2024|accessdate=7 February 2024|archive-date=7 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240207153526/https://www.catalannews.com/society-science/item/dani-alves-trial-day-2-former-footballers-wife-says-he-arrived-home-very-drunk|url-status=live}} Catalan News described Sanz as appearing "very cold towards her husband" during the testimony.

On 22 February 2024, Alves was found guilty of rape, and was sentenced to four and a half years in prison and ordered to pay €150,000 in damages to the victim.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-68368372|title=Dani Alves trial: Ex-Brazil player guilty of nightclub rape|publisher=BBC News|date=22 February 2024|accessdate=22 February 2024}}{{Cite web |date=22 February 2024 |title=Dani Alves trial: Ex-Brazil player guilty of nightclub rape |url=https://nz.news.yahoo.com/dani-alves-trial-ex-brazil-094146400.html |access-date=22 February 2024 |website=Yahoo News |language=en-NZ |archive-date=22 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240222100536/https://nz.news.yahoo.com/dani-alves-trial-ex-brazil-094146400.html |url-status=dead }} Alves' lawyer said that she would appeal against the verdict.{{Cite news |date=22 February 2024 |title=Dani Alves trial: Ex-Brazil player guilty of nightclub rape |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68368372 |access-date=22 February 2024 |language=en-GB}} After the sentence, Barcelona retired him from the "Legend" section.{{Cite web |date=2024-02-26 |title=El Barça retira a Dani Alves la condición de futbolista de leyenda |url=https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/barca-retira-dani-alves-condicion-98701140 |access-date=2024-02-27 |website=www.sport.es |language=es}} However, the club would reinstate his likeness on the website days later.{{Cite web |date=2024-02-28 |title=Barcelona reinstate Dani Alves as a 'legend' on the club website |url=https://www.marca.com/en/football/barcelona/2024/02/28/65df481c22601db31e8b45fa.html |access-date=2024-03-03 |website=MARCA |language=en}}

On 20 March 2024, Alves was released from jail on a €1,000,000 bail.{{Cite web |title=Dani Alves released from prison pending appeal after paying €1 million bail |url=https://www.soccersat.com/news/Dani-Alves-released-from-prison-pending-appeal-after-paying-1eur-million-bail |access-date=2024-03-26 |website=www.soccersat.com}} However, he was ordered to turn his Spanish and Brazilian passports over to the police, effectively prohibiting him from leaving Spain; to appear before a court weekly; and to keep distance from the victim. The ruling which was not unanimous can still be appealed. The victim's lawyer reacted saying "to me, it's a scandal that they let a person who they know can get a million euros in no time walk free."{{Cite news |date=2024-03-20 |title=Dani Alves: Ex-Brazil player to be freed on €1m bail after rape conviction |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68616200 |access-date=2024-03-20 |language=en-GB}}

On 28 March 2025, this conviction was overturned by the Spanish court, due to the lack of reliability of the accuser's testimony and inconsistencies in the previous sentence.{{cite web |title=Spanish court overturns Dani Alves' sexual assault conviction |url=https://www.reuters.com/sports/soccer/spanish-court-overturns-dani-alves-sexual-assault-conviction-2025-03-28/ |access-date=28 March 2025 |website=Reuters.com}}{{Cite web |date=2025-03-28 |title=Daniel Alves é absolvido pela Justiça da Espanha |url=https://g1.globo.com/mundo/noticia/2025/03/28/daniel-alves-e-absolvido-pela-justica-da-espanha.ghtml |access-date=2025-03-28 |website=G1 |language=pt-br}}

On May 7, 2025, the Spanish prosecutor's office appealed to the Supreme Court the annulment of the rape conviction of Dani Alves. The prosecution considers that the decision is based on “erroneous”, “even arbitrary” conclusions and that it “morally condemned” the complainant.{{Cite web |title=Le parquet espagnol fait appel de l'annulation de la condamnation de Dani Alves |url=https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Le-parquet-espagnol-fait-appel-de-l-annulation-de-la-condamnation-de-dani-alves/1559907 |access-date=2025-05-15 |website=L'Équipe |language=fr}}

On 16 November 2023, Alves won a tax fraud case against him which was related to alleged improper reporting to Spain tax authorities concerning his image rights earnings during the 2009–10 and 2010–11 seasons while he was a Barcelona player after appealing to a Spanish high court. He also received a €3.2 million ($3.4 million) payout from money that was confiscated from him.{{cite news |title=La Hacienda española deberá devolver a Dani Alves 3.4 millones |url=https://espndeportes.espn.com/futbol/nota/_/id/12876146/dani-alves-hacienda-espanola-debera-volver-tres-millones-de-dolares |author=EFE |work=ESPN Deportes |date=20 December 2023 |access-date=20 December 2023 |archive-date=20 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231220171947/https://espndeportes.espn.com/futbol/nota/_/id/12876146/dani-alves-hacienda-espanola-debera-volver-tres-millones-de-dolares |url-status=live }}
