Dani Alves Buys Third-Division Team and Plans to... Return

Dani Alves, the famous Brazilian footballer, has purchased 50% of the Portuguese team Sporting Clube São João de Ver, which plays in the third division. He intends to acquire the remaining 50% at the end of the season. There are rumors that Alves, who has not played since January 2023 due to the rape case he faced (which was initially convicted but later overturned), may return to football and play for the team. This purchase marks a new beginning for Alves, who was on conditional release after 14 months in prison.
