Alves 'parties until 5am at his £4.5m villa' DAYS after being released on bail

Dani Alves reportedly spent one of his first nights of freedom partying until 5am with friends, according to Spanish media.

Guardiola claimed last year that her client 'is broke' and has a 'negative bank balance of £17,000', despite reportedly
