Daniel Alves from Sevilla?

Cafu is would be a better striker than a centre back. He may able to do it in Brazil, but not in Italy and certainly not for Milan. If he cant play at right back anymore, its time to say goodbye.

I honestly think Cafu was joking in the interview, but if not, I just hope he's capable

well hes an amazing crosser, and hes better defensivly than most RBs out there, and hes also a good PK taker, and hes quite good running at players

Now how would they be able to get a work permit for him?

I don't know the answer to that question Kris, but i should imagine it would be along the usual lines of some sort of dual passport/citizenship or something to do with the number of games he's played for Sevilla.

But like i said, i don't know the exact answer, all i know is that Liverpool have already started negotiations. Benitez and Parry have been out there for over a week now talking to Sevilla, Valencia and Atletico Madrid, looking at targets and so forth. Benitez is now back in England while 'the wallet' (Parry's nickname ) is still there talking to clubs and starting the ball rolling. Initial reports said that Sevilla would let him go for around £7 million and then that figure shot up to £12 million ... so it's only the kind of cat and mouse stage right now.

From Calciomercato:
Milan-Alves: il Siviglia vuole 17 mln per il nuovo Cafù

19:02 del 09 giugno

Il difensore del Siviglia, Daniel Alves, già considerato come il nuovo Cafù, potrebbe scatenare una vera e propria asta internazionale. Nonostante il club andaluso abbia manifestato la volontà di non cedere il giocatore, Liverpool, Milan e Barcellona sono pronte a darsi battaglia. I 'reds' hanno già fatto il primo passo formulando un'offerta ufficiale, prontamente rifiutata dal presidente Jose Maria Del Nido che ha dichiarato: 'Non hanno offerto la cifra richiesta'. Il prezzo minimo fissato sarebbe di 17 mln di euro. Milan e Barcellona potrebbero essere i prossimi a fare un'offerta al club andaluso.


I think it says that this guy cost 17 mil and that Milan and Barca could make bids ,please someone translate this for us. Thank you

Alves is better than Oddo imo and it would be great to have him in Milan. He is a much better RB than Real's Cicinho as well, who is more of a RM/RW.

Daniel Alves is a great player...
I hope that he comes!

do anyone knows how old is he????

According to Wikipedia:

Daniel Alves Da Silva is a footballer from Brazil. He plays as a midfielder for Sevilla Fútbol Club in Spain. He was born on 06/05/1983 in Juazeiro.

Alves is 1.71 m tall. He weighs 64.00 kg.

Alves has scored 5 goals in his career in Seville.

He has double citizenship: Brazilian and Spanish.

Daniel won the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship.

The guy is surely worthy.

AC Milan have jumped to the lead in the race for Sevilla fullback Daniel Alves.
Liverpool failed with a major bid, confirmed by Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido, last week, while Barcelona are also keen on the Brazilian.

But Milan have put together an offer of £11 million cash, plus veteran fullback Cafu, in exchange for Alves.

Del Nido won't sell for less than £12 million, but will be tempted by Milan's offer, which has been funded by Andriy Shevchenko's £35 million move to Chelsea.

and the source is?

AC Milan have reportedly moved ahead of Liverpool in the chase for Sevilla star Daniel Alves.
It appears the Italian club have put together an £11million bid for the Brazilian full-back - and are ready to throw Cafu into the deal as well.

Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido confirmed last week that Liverpool had failed in a bid for Alves.
But it is thought the offer from Milan is tempting the La Liga club to let their star defender go.

Liverpool will struggle to match the Serie A giants, who have £35million in their transfer kitty after the sale of Andriy Shevchenko to Chelsea, in a cash battle for Alves.

Is that a reliable source because if it is Im very pleased Milan are even trying!! I know many people like Oddo, no offence but I seriously doubt him being good enough. Lippi seems to agree with me too
