Reported Manchester City target Dani Alves has been unable to agree a new deal with Barcelona but is determined to stay at the Nou Camp. "I don't feel the club have bent over backwards to renew my contract - it's a feeling I have," he told local newspaper Sport.
"I just want an agreement to be reached now, or within a few days.
"I don't like the fact there have been so many rumours - I'm as committed to this project as anyone in the squad."
Alves knows he would be expensive to replace and admits he wants parity with the club's highest earners.
"I won't be a hypocrite - if the club want to replace me it could cost them dear," he said.
"What Dani wants is for the club to value him depending on his importance and influence within the squad.
"If they do that, I'll be delighted and if not, thanks for these years (at the club)."
In the meantime, however, the 27-year-old says he remains fully committed to the Catalan cause.
"I will break my back for this team, even if I don't renew," he said.
"It's a dream to form part of this dressing room and whatever is said, written or protested, my name is already written in the history of this club."
