Dani Alves publishes enigmatic message on his Instagram account after months of inactivity

The footballer has been in prison since January 20.

The footballer Dani Alves made a surprising appearance on social media after a silence of around 40 weeks. Alves's profile came back to life this weekend with a message without an addressee, but that is surely dedicated to his daughter, Victoria.

«No matter where you are, I will always be with you,» said the message that the footballer published on his Instagram Stories, just on Victoria Alves' birthday, October 27.

Two other images with a black background without text accompanied the first.

It is unknown if Victoria responded to her father's message since the 16-year-old girl's Instagram profile is private, so only her around 500 followers have access to her posts.

Dani Alves has been detained since January 20 in the Brians prison, awaiting his trial for sexual abuse. That is why it is speculated that it was not him personally who wrote the message on Instagram, but rather someone close to him.

Until now, the footballer had only communicated with his wife, the model Joana Sanz. It was Sanz herself who reported this in recent months by showing a handwritten letter that Alves sent her.

Victoria and his brother Daniel, 17, are Alves' children with his first wife, Dinora Santana, to whom he was married for three years between 2008 and 2011.

The exact date of the trial against the Brazilian footballer is still unknown. A few months ago, it had been said that the process would take place between October and November. However, the proceedings in the case continue.

Alves is accused of having sexually abused a 23-year-old girl in one of the bathrooms at the Sutton nightclub in Barcelona on December 30, 2022.

The judge in the case imposed a bail of 150,000 euros on the footballer to cover
