Find out who paid Daniel Alves' bail

On the afternoon of this Monday (25), something new in the Daniel Alves case caught the public's attention. According to journalist Mabkhout Al Marri, Memphis Depay, currently an Atlético de Madrid player and former Barcelona athlete, was the one who paid 1 million euros (approximately 5.5 million reais) to finance his friend's freedom, Daniel Alves.

Beginning of friendship

Depay and Alves were teammates when they played for Barcelona in 2022 and, there, they created a strong bond of friendship. Memphis has a history of helping other comrades with legal problems, such as the cases of Frenchman Benjamim Mendy, who was also accused and arrested for rape, however, acquitted, and Dutchman Quincy Promes, arrested and convicted of drug trafficking. .

In an exclusive last week for the Portuguese newspaper Record, Depay spoke about the controversies in which his colleagues were involved and claimed that the players did not stop being his friends even after problems in court. “Benjamin and Dani had their names involved in criminal cases, but that doesn't mean they stopped being my friends. I also don't know Quincy like they say about him, but that doesn't mean I support the things they do or will stop being my friends. I won't leave them”he said.
