Dani Alves has been accused as being one of the reasons Neymar decided to ditch Barcelona this week for Paris Saint-Germain. Does the former Barça right-back carry such importance?
Alves has an excellent relationship with Neymar and pushed for Barça to sign him and helped him settle in when he arrived. However, things this time are different.
It was Neymar that asked PSG for the arrival of Coutinho, the departure of Lucas Moura (there's no feeling) and the signing of Dani Alves.
The full-back was about to sign for City when PSG appeared. Tied down in a second. It was a way to help push through the Neymar deal.
