Barcelona's Dani Alves has not agreed Juventus move yet - agent

Dani Alves' agent has confirmed she has met with Juventus but there is currently no agreement with the Serie A champions for the Barcelona right-back to leave the club.

Alves, 33, has been linked with a summer move away from Barcelona this summer, with Cadena Ser reporting he was set to join Juventus.

The Brazilian's agent, Dinorah Santana, said in Marca: "It is not true that there is any type of agreement. Dani has not settled anything with anyone and right now he is in Brazil and his main focus is on preparing with the national team.

"It is true that I have met with Juventus, but not only with them. I have also met with Turkish clubs, with one from England and another from France.

"There is no type of offer, we have nothing to evaluate. If there had been any type of offer first we would have to evaluate it and then if it seems to me a reasonable offer, I would mention it to Dani."

Regarding any type of clause in his current terms at the Camp Nou, Santana said: "That is confidential. We don't discuss details of that nature."

Meanwhile, Juventus director Beppe Marotta has spoken highly of Alves and his Barca teammate Javier Mascherano, who has also been linked with a switch to Turin.

Marotta said: "We don't own Alves, but he is a great player. Let's see what we can do. Mascherano? We've not done anything yet so I'm neither going to confirm nor deny it."

Regarding the future of striker Alvaro Morata, who has been linked with a return to Real Madrid, Marotta said: "He's a talent who is becoming a champion.

"He's grown a lot and we are going to try everything we can to keep him in Turin. The buy-back clause is like the sword of Damocles. We're going to meet Real after the Champions League final."

The Juve director also confirmed Domenico Berardi is set to sign from Sassuolo, adding: "He's a great talent and we have a verbal agreement with Sassuolo. We have a moral right to sign him and I think we're going to define this transfer."
