Dani Alves is not currently living the best days of his life. The player is currently in Barcelona’s Brians 2 Prison as he is in jail for sexually assaulting a 23-year-old woman.

The 39-year-old defender was arrested by the Spanish police on January 20 after all the details of his wrongdoings emerged. Reports said that the player had attacked the women outside the nightclub, where the incident reportedly took place.

The player himself admitted to the wrongdoing in front of the authorities before denying he knew about the incident. Moreover, his wife, Joana Sanz, recently ended their relationship, which led him to go on a hunger strike.

Soon after he learned about his divorce, the player was completely devastated and very nervous, and he didn’t eat for days. However, a fresh report has emerged regarding his living arrangements.

Alves was sharing a cell phone with his cellmate. However, now that his accompanying cellmate has gone, reports suggest that Alves wants to be locked up in his cell for the rest of his life.

His wife, Joana, visited the footballer two times and asked the footballer to part ways with her. However, the player was reluctant to agree on anything, which ultimately led Sanz to publicly announce their separation.
