As has been reported, on January 20, the day of his arrest, the club’s board sent Alves an email announcing the termination of his contract and a request for compensation of 4.5 million euros.
Pumas refers to a clause that punishes a player for participating in any scandal or a crime
Mexican team Pumas, which terminated Dani Alves‘ contract after he was jailed following sexual assault allegations, are now seeking $1 million compensation from the Brazilian footballer for violating the terms of conduct set out in his contract. On January 20, Alves was arrested, charged with alleged sexual assault, and has since been held without bail in Barcelona. As has been reported, on January 20, the day of his arrest, the club’s board sent Alves an email announcing the termination of his contract and a request for compensation of 4.5 million euros. Media accessed an email Pumas sent to Alves, in which the Mexican team refers to a clause that punishes a player for participating in “any scandal that is made public” or “any act that is considered a crime under the laws of the country in which he took place.”
The club could resolve their issue with FIFA if Alves did not pay his compensation
The club believes that the rape allegation means that Alves broke the agreement, and therefore the club is seeking financial compensation. “For severe violations by a player, under the terms of the fourteenth and fifteenth clauses of the contract, the player is irrevocably obliged to reimburse the club for the payment of compensation provided for in the fifteenth clause of the contract for five million dollars net, that is, without any tax or withholding,” Pumas states in a short description that was made available by UOL. Pumas also threatened Alves, saying that they could resolve their issue with FIFA if he did not pay his compensation. “Pumas reserves the right to take any action before FIFA and/or any other relevant and competent jurisdiction to claim compensation that has been agreed under the fifteenth clause of the contract,” the club said.
The Brazilian told his wife Joana Sanz that he loves her and didn’t want to lose her
Over the past few days, several media outlets have repeated the information provided by “El Programa de Ana Rosa”, where it was stated that Joana Sanz asked Dani Alves, who is currently in prison, for a divorce. Faced with this situation, the football player’s current partner reacted to the information and assured: “I want to make it clear that the latest information about what I said is absolutely false. I have not contacted the media or any specific journalist.” Now, again ‘El programa de Ana Rosa’ claims that Joana Sanz told him about the decision to separate via a phone call since it is worth remembering that Dani Alves preferred not to provide his partner with a face-to-face meeting. However, it should be noted that he did not do this to her or any of her family or friends.
In this call, Joana told him about her intentions, which Alves allegedly already knew through his lawyers. In the call, which was brief, Alves reportedly told his wife that he didn’t want to lose her. “He told her that he loved her,” he said to the program while assuring that his entourage advised Sanz to stop public statements through social networks. It’s worth remembering that Joana Sanz deleted most of the Instagram images in which she appeared with Alves, although not all of them.
