Angel Di Maria, a free agent after leaving PSG, will join the Serie A heavyweights in Turin.
Conditions of a contract
The Argentine footballer has agreed to join the Bianconeri on a one-year deal, with the Argentine bound for Italy after briefly seeing talk of interest from Barcelona. Angel Di Maria dropped into the free agent pool this summer after reaching the end of his contract with PSG. A move to Turin has been discussed for some time now, with first contact confirmed back in April and regular rounds of discussions now yielding a long-awaited agreement.
Angel Di Maria will be signing a 12-month contract with the Serie A heavyweights. There are a few more minor details that need to be crossed out when it comes to financial details, but the paperwork is ready to be processed. Angel’s plans to stay in European football for another season before heading back to their homeland.
The Argentine has a World Cup final to think about in 2022-23 and the player wants to compete at the highest possible level before that tournament. Bianconeri is ready to offer him those opportunities and will add his skill set to Allegri’s offensive arsenal at the Allianz Stadium.
Activities and achievements of Angel Di Maria
The player with 122 international caps to the name first arrived in Europe when he joined Benfica from Rosario Central in 2007. Three seasons in Portugal brought him to the attention of Real Madrid, with the Spanish giants splashing out the initial €25m to secure his signature.
The Argentine striker won the League title and Champions League crown during his spell at the Santiago Bernabéu but made a surprising move to Man Utd for £59.7m in the summer of 2014. Angel Di Maria felt things were tough in England and left Old Trafford after just one season to join Paris Saint-Germain.
The spark is back in France, with 295 matches and 92 goals scored in seven trophy years in the French capital. Now Angel Di Maria is ready to experience life in Italy for the first time, with Juventus also poised to complete the takeover of former Man Utd midfielder Paul Pogba as a free agent, still asking questions about whether the Giallorossi might be tempted to part ways with Nicolo Zaniolo.
