Dani Alves is happy in Turin and with Juventus. In his first season with the Vecchia Signora he has been a key member of Allegri's team, with whom he achieved a league and Cup double (Serie A and Coppa de Italia) as well as finishing as runners-up in the Champions League final. After a great season in Italy, the 34-year-old was criticized for the way he left FC Barcelona last summer, although he did explain his reasons for leaving Camp Nou earlier this year. Now he feels he has earned a contract extension with Juve. He has threatened to study other offers which have come in for him - including ones from several top Premier League sides, if he doesn't get his wish, UOL Esporte reports from Brazil.
