            Barcelona full-back Dani Alves has said he is leaving the club at the end of the season for a move to England, according to a report.

            Alves, who joined Barca in 2008 from Sevilla, will be a free agent next summer, with the contract he signed in 2011 set to expire.

            The Brazil international threatened to quit the Catalan club in May, with Paris Saint-Germain one of the sides reportedly interested in him at the time.

            But while Alves ultimately remained at the Camp Nou, he says he will definitely be leaving for an unnamed English club once the current campaign has ended.

            "I am moving to England next year," he told O Globo. "I am going to play in the cradle of football. This will be my last year at Barcelona."

            The 31-year-old, who has appeared in six of Barca's eight games this season, has won a number of trophies since arriving at the Camp Nou, including four La Liga titles, two Copa del Reys and two Champions League crowns.
