Even if he wanted to stay at PSG, the Argentinian’s contract has not been extended at the Parc des Princes. It was announced for weeks in discussion with Juventus, but “El Fideo” would still not have reached an agreement with the Old Lady. This is where Barca come into the picture: according to new Spanish media Relevo, the Catalan club have sounded out the player’s entourage to study the possibility of a free arrival.
Di Maria himself would be seduced by the idea of playing again in Spain. As for Lionel Messi’s ex-club, they still can’t afford to splurge on the market. The opportunity to sign the 34-year-old, free, would therefore be viewed favorably by the Catalan leaders. Especially since Raphinha, target number 1 for the winger position, is very expensive: Leeds would ask nearly 55 million euros for the Brazilian player. Too much for the Blaugranas?
