Alves hoping to catch a train

At a press conference, Sevilla right back Daniel Alves (24) repeated that nothing can change his mind about wanting to leave at the end of the season, although he is aware that no club will pay the transfer sum that Sevilla has been asking till now. Alves, who is one of the main candidates to become the new Barcelona right back as of next season, says he doesn't expect Chelsea or Real Madrid to come after him again: "I don't think the train who passed last year will pass again. But other trains keep passing and the club has to find an agreement with one of them."
