The 36-year-old right back, who is captain of Brazil, had been with the French champions for two seasons and was at the end of his contract. “Everything has a start, middle and end, and the time has come to put a full stop here,” Alves said on Instagram. Alves did not reveal where he might go, and leaves PSG as compatriot Leonardo returns as the new sporting director. Alves signed for PSG at the same time as Neymar, in the summer of 2017. Further success on the European stage eluded him at PSG, however, with the Parisians crashing out of the Champions League at the round-of-16 stage in his two seasons.
