Dani Alves, the former Barcelona defender, may be eligible to receive around 20,000 euros in compensation for the time he spent in pre-trial detention. This information comes from Marca.

According to the source, the Brazilian footballer can submit a claim for compensation for the 405 days he was in custody following the Supreme Court's cancellation of the original verdict in his rape case.

Reports suggest Alves will sue Pumas for €2 million, arguing his contract's early termination was unjustified should he be acquitted.

Earlier, Alves was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison for committing a sexual assault.
