Brazil\u2019s Dani Alves has had a second request to be released from jail on bail rejected by a Spanish court as an investigation continues into an alleged sexual assault.<\/p>\n

Alves, 40, has been\u00a0held since January\u00a0over an allegation he assaulted a woman in a Barcelona nightclub in December. He denies any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

His lawyer offered to surrender both his Brazilian and Spanish passports.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The court rejected the request as there was a \u201chigh risk\u201d he would try to flee.<\/p>\n

The High Court of Justice of Catalonia said Alves\u2019 wealth \u201ccould allow him to leave Spain at any time\u201d.<\/p>\n

He also had a request for bail\u00a0turned down in February.<\/p>\n

Mexican club Pumas UNAM terminated Alves\u2019 contract in January when he was remanded in custody.<\/p>\n

Alves played 408 matches for Barcelona across two spells, winning six La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues between 2008 and 2016.<\/p>\n

The defender has also played for Paris St-Germain and Juventus among other clubs and has made 126 appearances for Brazil, including playing twice at the 2022 World Cup.<\/p>\n
