Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has added fuel to suggestions that Dani Alves will depart the Catalan outfit this summer.

The Brazilian defender is out of contract at the end of the season and as it stands, there has been no fresh offer from the Spanish side.

It had initially been thought that a new deal would be offered at the start of 2015, but Bartomeu has hinted that it is not currently a priority.

"The technical committee are working on plans for next season," Bartomeu told RNE. "I'm happy with them because they've been holding meetings, which I haven't participated in, and haven't leaked anything, but I don't know if they're discussing Alves."

Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are both believed to be interested in the experienced right-back.
