HE’S just secured a big move to Juventus.

The eccentric Brazilian was snapped soaking up the Rio sun alongside the Spanish model and looked totally relaxed as he chomped on a burger.

Alves was part of the Brazil squad that put up a terrible showing in the recent Copa America, and his mind appeared to be elsewhere as Dunga received the chop.
Alves still had one year remaining on his Barcelona deal before telling the club he wanted a fresh challenge, and admitted he was finding life at the Nou Camp ‘too easy’.
