have asked the Brazilian Dani Alves
, who was fired on January 20, compensation of 5 million dollars for violating a conduct clause in his contract when he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in a Barcelona nightclub.

According to the media outlet UOL Sporte, in addition to the termination of the contract on January 20, the Pumas executives also sent Alves an email in which they
informed him of his departure from the team
and requested million-dollar compensation.

"participation in doping cases",
"in any scandal that becomes public" or in "any act that is considered offense under the law of the country in which it took place".

legal action, before FIFA or any other court,
in the event that the ex-Barcelonista refuses to deposit the 5 million euros. Dollars.

have issued any official comment on
the matter.

Barcelona prison for allegedly raping a woman
in the bathrooms of a Barcelona nightclub.

most relevant contract in the transfer market for
the summer of 2022.
However, the Brazilian received special permission to travel to Barcelona to attend the funeral of his mother-in-law, mother of the Spanish model Joana Sanz.
The Pumas expected the return of Alves
on January 17
and according to press reports, the Brazilian never informed the Pumas that he would extend his stay in Barcelona.

was not positive on the field for the Pumas
since in their first tournament, the cats occupied the penultimate place in the Apertura classification, outside the fight for the title.
