The exorbitant salary that Dani Alves was earning at Pumas in Mexico.

A Dani Alves is known for his successful career as a professional soccer player, but at the moment his name is not linked to sports, but to a case of sexual abuse in Spain after being accused by a young woman who claims to have been violated in a Spanish nightclub.

Just as some statements from those involved in this delicate issue have been known, other points related to the soccer player who was in the last World Cup have also come to light. And it is that, during his trial in Spanish territory, it was revealed, for example, how much he earned when he played for Pumas in Mexico.

When the Brazilian arrived in Mexican soil to sign with the feline team, everyone imagined that his salary would be high and not without reason, since the soccer player was one of the best in the world with a successful past, mainly at Barcelona. However, when the exact amount was revealed, many were amazed.

DANI ALVES IN PUMAS OF MEXICO

After a brief six-month stint with Barcelona, the club he returned to after five years, Dani Alves became a free agent in June 2022 and, after receiving several offers, decided to sign with Pumas de la UNAM, causing great excitement among fans and surprise among skeptics.

The Brazilian arrived in mid-2022 at the Mexican club, but did not have a good performance during that season, so he missed some games. However, his performances were enough to earn him a call-up to the Brazilian national team for the World Cup held in Qatar.

His time at the Mexican club came to an end in January 2023, when the management decided to terminate his contract after being arrested in Spain for being involved in an alleged case of sexual abuse against a young woman in a nightclub. Thus, the Brazilian full-back ended his time in Mexico with 12 games played, 4 assists, and no goals scored.

DANI ALVES' SALARY IN PUMAS

Dani Alves is one of the most acclaimed soccer players today, despite his age of 39, which makes him an expensive player in terms of his salary, so one can imagine that he has earned very well at each of the clubs he has played for, and as expected, Pumas was no exception.

According to information published in the newspaper El País, the judge in charge of Dani Alves' case asked him how much he earned in Mexico, to which he replied that he received 30,000 euros per month, a low amount considering his entire career.

However, the judge immediately responded to such statements and stated that the Brazilian was lying since she had the contract in her hand and could see that his actual salary was 300,000 euros, an incredible amount that not every soccer player in Mexican lands can earn.
