Barcelona are ready to hand Daniel Alves a new contract. Sport says Barca sports director Txiki Begiristain and president Joan Laporta do not want to leave any loose ends ahead of leaving at the end of the season.

Alves is contracted with Barca until 2012, but will be offered a new two-year contract extension on improved terms. His buyout clause would be set in the region of £100 million.
