Dani Alves' wife vows to stick by Barcelona legend amid rumours of divorce over alleged nightclub assault

Dani Alves' wife Joana Sanz has vowed to stick by the Barcelona legend after reports surfaced that she has filed for divorce.

The Tenerife-born model recently visited prison to meet the full-back. As she was leaving, the 29-year-old was asked to address claims that she had filed for divorce. Sanz told the media (via The Sun):

“I’m not going to leave him alone at the worst moment in his life.”

Dani Alves has been detained in prison for an alleged case of sexual assault against a 23-year-old lady at a nightclub in Barcelona. The Brazilian player has since admitted to getting physically intimate with the lady. He, however, has claimed that it was consensual and has denied reports of rape.

Sanz recently deleted all her photos with the player. She has since released a statement on social media, writing:

“I want to make it clear that the recent information about things I have said are totally false. I haven’t contacted any media or any specific journalist. When I have something to say I, Joana Sanz, will say it, via an official statement on my social media."

She added:

“Everything else is speculation. I appreciate your concern, but at this moment in time, there is a process underway, which deserves not to be interrupted.”
