Dani Alves discussing Barcelona future

Brazil's Dani Alves is meeting new Barcelona coach Luis Enrique to discuss whether he will stay on at the club when his contact expires.

Brazil back Dani Alves is meeting new Barcelona coach Luis Enrique in hopes of locking down his future at the Spanish league club.

The 31-year-old right back is in the last year of his deal, and has been linked with French club Paris Saint-Germain.

Alves arrived on Tuesday to speak with Enrique, "and after we meet we can decide if I continue or not. It's not just up to me. My idea is to fulfil the contract I signed but it has to be of mutual accord".

Since Alves' transfer from Sevilla in 2008, Barcelona has won 16 trophies including a pair of Champions Leagues and four domestic titles.

At the World Cup, Alves was relegated to substitute in the knockout stages after starting for Brazil in the pool stage.
