The Brazilian wants to extend his Turin stay until 2019

He has offers from China and England to leave Juventus

Dani Alves' future remains in the air. After an excellent second half of the season with Juventus, shining in the Champions League, the veteran right-back could be on the move again this summer. At 34, the former Barcelona player still has important offers on the table and is ready to test Juventus' resolve. 

According to UOL Esporte, Alves wants to stay in Turin but he wants a contract until 2019. That would mean a one-year extension to the deal he signed last summer when he left Barça. The Brazilian wants two more years to be guaranteed. If he doesn't get that, he may be prepared to look elsewhere. 

Alves has offers from China and England. In recent days, the interest of Antonio Conte's Chelsea has been revealed. The Premier League champion's formation (3-4-3) would suit him and allow him to continue to play his best football. Victor Moses currently plays as the right wing-back at Stamford Bridge. 

UOL Esporte add, though, that Alves' first option is to continue in Turin. It's taken a while but he's adapted to his life there and in recent months has earned the praise of the local media. But if he doesn't get an additional year on his deal, he will assess the possibility of a change of scenery.
