Barcelona and Atletico Madrid ‘ready to make transfer offer to ex-Man Utd star Di Maria’ with Juventus deal expiring
BARCELONA and Atletico Madrid are locked in a battle to sign Angel Di Maria, according to reports.
The ex-Man Utd star, 35, is out of contract at Juventus in the summer.
And the Argentina World Cup winner is desperate to play for one final season in Europe, before ending his career at Rosario Central.
According Tuttomercatoweb, Juventus want to extend Di Maria’s contract.
But Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also hot on the heels of the midfielder, and would like to add him to their squad.
Di Maria has enjoyed a storied career in European football.
After making his name at Benfica, he would star at Real Madrid for four years between 2010-14, where he won the Champions League.
Man Utd brought him to the Premier League in 2014 for £60million.
However, he struggled for form under Louis van Gaal and was deemed to be one of the worst signings of the season.
After failing to board a plane for a preseason tour of the US, Di Maria was soon sold to PSG.

There, he won five Ligue 1 titles, as well as five French cups.
In 295 games he scored 93 goals for the Parisians, in probably his best spell in Europe.
