It's official. Dani Alves has rejoined Barcelona. Xavi Hernandez told the club he wanted the Brazilian brought in and so they made it happen.

Alves joins for the rest of the season and can start training but he can't play until January.

The Brazilian right back had offered himself to Barcelona in a recent interview with Sport, and the club have signed him to help bring his experience and know-how to the Camp Nou.

He won three Champions Leagues with Barça and six La Liga trophies.
