My problems with the club have been solved
The Brazilian defender insists there is no bad blood between him and the Blaugrana after previously airing his disappointment at the way the side refused to comment on speculation
Barcelona right-back Dani Alves has assured that he is no longer frustrated at the club’s handling of the transfer rumours surrounding his future earlier in the summer.
The Brazil international stated on Tuesday that he was disappointed with the Blaugrana‘s decision to stay tight-lipped about his future at Camp Nou, with Manchester City and Anzhi Makhachkala both understood to be keeping tabs on the 29-year-old.Barca coach Tito Vilanova later took the time to address the issue, insisting he was unaware of Alves’ state of mind, and the former Sevilla stopper has now indicated that the problem is water under the bridge now.
“We have solved it,” Alves told TV3. “What I wanted was to express my dissatisfaction, that is what I said that.
“Now we have talked about it and this issue is settled.”
Alves scored Barca’s first goal in Tuesday’s 2-1 friendly victory against Hamburg at the Imtech Arena.

Tito Vilanova’s first training session
Messi, Alexis, Adriano, Mascherano, Pinto, Afellay, Muniesa, Bartra and Dos Santos are all injury-free while Villa, Alves and Fontas all look very close to receiving medical clearance to play.
The best news of the day was the visit from Eric Abidal. Three months after his operation and he is looking great. However, there was no statement or anything to say if and when he can return to training so with such a complicated thing we should just rejoice in the fact that he is looking so well. Time will tell if can ever play again.
Muniesa is out for six months
Muniesa was injured in the opening game of Barça’s preseason, against Hamburg (1-2). Just a few minutes into the second half.
Sad but expected news
It has been confirmed that Seydou Keita will not continue at Barça next season.
The 32-year-old has decided to continue his career with the Chinese club Dalian Aerbin who have offered him a two year deal. With growing competition for places at Camp Nou it is understandable that Keita has made this decision. He played 188 games for Barça scoring 22 goals and winning 14 titles, but more than that he has left his mark as a model professional and all round decent bloke.
