Barcelona icon Dani Alves signs for Mexican club Pumas on one-year deal and will immediately return for Nou Camp clash

, the legendary right-back has joined Pumas and is set to return to the Nou Camp for a friendly with the Blaugrana on August 7 for the Joan Gamper Trophy.

The former Brazil international has put pen to paper on a one-year deal with his new club.

Alves, 39, is one of Barcelona's all-time greatest players as he amassed a total of 22 goals and 104 assists in 406 appearances across two stints in Catalonia.

The Brazilian has also won 43 trophies across his career at club and international level, which includes spells with Sevilla, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Sao Paulo.

The 39-year-old's most recent stint at the Nou Camp saw him register a mere 15 appearances across all competitions.

Alves' best performance took place against Atletico Madrid as he scored and assisted in the 4-2 win, but also received a red card.

But that wasn't enough to earn him another contract with Barcelona and so he left again with an emotional message.

Alves said: "It's been 23 titles, two trebles, a sextuple, and a big book of golden stories!"

He added: "It's been more than eight years dedicated to this Club, these colours, and this home.

"However, as with everything in life, the years go by, paths diverge, and the stories are written somewhere else at another time."
