He has served 15 months, while continuing to appeal the verdict, and walked out of Brians 2 prison a week ago after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/revealed-surprising-source-dani-alves-eur1m-bail-payment-barcelona-prison-rape-conviction/bltb658e75ddd85f0af" target="_blank">paying a €1m (£850,000) bail bond</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Alves has agreed to a number of court-imposed conditions following his release, with the South American surrendering Brazilian and Spanish passports. He must return to court on a weekly basis, as stated in the terms of his provisional release.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The 40-year-old is said to have already <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/disgraced-ex-barcelona-star-dani-alves-spotted-partying-5am-villa-day-release-prison-bail/blt5644d9272868d6a6" target="_blank">taken in one lavish party, to celebrate his father’s birthday</a>, and has now seemingly linked back up with his partner. Sanz had demanded a divorce following Alves’ arrest, but that separation has been put on hold and the 31-year-old model gave evidence on behalf of her husband during his trial.

DID YOU KNOW?

Sanz has now posted an image on social media that hints at a reconciliation, with Alves’ hand visible alongside what appears to be matching “1+1=1” tattoos. Sanz has also said in an Instagram story: “May this month be good, may you be stronger than you have been until today. May you feel totally grateful because, despite everything, you are here. May it be a month to give and receive love, a month to feel at peace and happy for everything you have fought for and how much you are yet to achieve. May April be a positive month for everyone.”<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt82491749632e9dbe/alves_1.jpg?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt82491749632e9dbe/alves_1.jpg?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blt82491749632e9dbe/alves_1.jpg?format=jpg" alt="Dani Alves Joana Sanz tattoo" data-source="Instagram" data-copyright="Instagram" perform:prop="uuid:blt82491749632e9dbe;width:462;height:675"></picture>

WHAT SANZ SAID
