And Fernandez told a press conference that the Brazil international has chosen to exercise his option to leave for free this summer after helping Barca to a Liga and Copa del Rey double.
"Dani Alves has decided to leave. It's a personal decision that we respect," he said.
"I don't like that Alves is leaving, he's an extraordinary player and is very loved, but it's his decision and we must respect it.
The Camp Nou outfit are keen on bringing Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin to the club this summer as they look for a replacement, though Fernandez denied planning a bid for the Spain international and insists they have the players at the club to cover Alves's departure.
"At right-back we have confidence in Aleix Vidal, he was signed for that reason. We also have Sergi Roberto."
