Dani Alves is scheduled to hold a meeting with Barcelona’s top officials to discuss a potential return to the club in January.

The 38-year-old is not yet retired but left Sao Paulo back in September due to a dispute over unpaid image rights. He left Barça in 2016, but the club have failed to replace him since then.

Sergi Roberto has often filled in at right back since Alves’ departure, while Sergino Dest and Oscar Mingueza have also played there more recently.
