Dani Alves claims he has set up more goals for Lionel Messi than anyone else as full back commits to personal challenge of earning new Barcelona deal Dani Alves claims he has more assists for Messi than any other player Brazil full back says he is not concerned with contract discussions But Alves says staying at Barca is a personal challenge of mine He had stated he would be moving to England when contract expires Dani Alves has defended his Barcelona reputation by insisting he has created more goals for Lionel Messi than any other player. Alves has come under fire for the perceived inaccuracy of his crossing in recent weeks, but insists he is still the master creator. The Brazil full back is out of contract at the end of this season and although Barcelona have opened negotiations with Messis chief supplier, his future at the club is far from certain. Ive set up more goals for Messi than anyone at Barcelona, Alves told La Vanguardia. Thats a fact. The cross for Messis goal No 400 for Barça was mine. In Barcas first Club World Cup Leos winning goal came from my cross. Some people might not like it, but its there for everyone to see The full back, who stated last week that he would be moving to England next season, now claims that he wants to remain at Barca. Alves, 31, has been with the Catalan club since 2008, and says it is a personal challenge to stay with the club. Ive survived because I know the expectations that there always are here. I always set myself challenges and staying at Barca is a personal challenge of mine. I want to leave with a feeling that my time at Barça has been awesome. I never think in the long term. So in the short term I want to see out my current contract here.
