Puma demands Dani Alves pays a '€4.5m compensation' after rape allegation

Dani Alves' former club Pumas are demanding he pays them a €4.5m net compensation for violating a clause in his contract after he was accused of raping a young woman in Spain last year, per UOL Sporte.

The club wants Alves to reimburse them for the salary he's earned so far and have sent him an email sent to that effect following his arrest and imprisonment.

"For very serious breaches by the player, under the terms provided in the fourteenth and fifteenth clauses of the contract, the player is irremediably obliged to reimburse the club for the payment of the compensation provided in the fifteenth clause of the contract, in the amount of five million dollars net (€4.5m), that is, free of any tax or withholding," the email sent to Alves reads.

In a follow-up email, Alves was threatened to be reported to FIFA if he fails to pay what is being asked of him.

"Pumas reserves the right to take any and all actions before FIFA and/or in any other relevant and competent jurisdiction to claim the compensation, which was agreed under the terms of the fifteenth clause of the contract," they said.

These are not good times for the ex-Barcelona defender. A judge recently said he believes there is serious evidence against Alves in the case.

The former Brazil right-back is still being held in prison pending the conclusion of his trial.
