Club Universidad Nacional (Pumas) filed a lawsuit against former Brazilian player Dani Alves before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) for an alleged breach of contract between 2022 and 2023. The hearing is scheduled for March 25, 2025, under case file CAS 20224/A/10733 and the organization's resolution will be decisive in determining whether Pumas is entitled to the requested compensation or if the case is solved in favor of Alves.
Dani Alves joined the Mexican club in July 2022, however, in January 2023 the Aztec team terminated his contract following the player's arrest in Spain for an accusation of sexual assault on a woman at a nightclub in Barcelona, which resulted in a four-and-a-half-year prison sentence. At that time, Pumas president Leopoldo Silva stated that the decision was made to "terminate the employment contract with player Daniel Alves with justified cause as of this day".
