Dani Alves' lawyer has claimed that the footballer is broke and has a negative bank balance reading of £17,000.
The former Juventus defender is on trial in Spain after being accused of raping a woman in a nightclub.
Alves spent the entirety of 2023 in confinement as he is awaiting trial and could be slammed with a prison sentence of up to 12 years if found guilty.
Dani Alves could also be ordered to pay damages of about £128,000 to the accuser for the ordeal she passed through.
The retired footballer's lawyer is Ines Guardiola and according to reports from Mundo Deportivo, apart from Alves' bank balance, he also has a legal embargo on another £42,795 worth of assets.
Dani Alves, who once had a fortune of £47 million is currently broke and apparently in a miserable financial state.
Meanwhile, the Brazilian has always claimed to be innocent of the charges leveled against him.
The trial over the legal case began on Monday, February 5, 2024, and it is expected to go on until Wednesday, February 7, 2024.
Dani Alves had initially denied having met his accuser, but later said they had had consensual sex.
More than 30 people, including Dani Alves and his ex-wife, are expected to testify during the trial.
The court in Barcelona on Monday, February 5, 2024, denied his request to suspend the trial so that he could be given additional time to prepare, rejecting his claim that he had suffered a trial by the media.
The lady who has accused Dani Alves of rape was amongst those to give evidence on the first day of the trial, speaking from behind a screen in order not to reveal her identity.
The accuser alleged that the former Barcelona fullback lured her into a toilet in the VIP section of a nightclub in Barcelona, and then forced her to have sex with him.
The woman’s cousin alongside a friend, who were both with her on the night of the alleged assault, also testified on Monday, February 5, 2024.
They claimed that the 40-year-old had groped and flirted with them earlier in the evening when the incident occurred.
They also said the woman had initially been unwilling to file a complaint because she was afraid that her plight would not be believed.
In Spain, a claim of rape is investigated under the umbrella accusation of sexual assault, and convictions can result in a prison sentence of 4 to 15 years.

Despite the Brazilian not winning the World Cup with Brazil, he also has an outstanding international career, winning 2 Copa America, and 2 FIFA Confederations Cup titles.
