Angel Di Maria has signed a one-year contract in Turin as he plans to return to his homeland in the summer of 2023.
What did Angel Di Maria say?
The Bianconeri have finally completed the signing of the Argentine footballer on a free transfer. Di Maria has long been linked with a move to the Turin side after the player’s contract with PSG expired at the end of the season. Barcelona were also interested in landing the winger, an interest reciprocated by Angel himself, but the player has now opted for a Serie A spell.
The Argentine winger has agreed to a one-year contract with the Bianconeri and will leave in the summer of 2023. Negotiations with the Italian side dragged on because the club wanted to tie him to a longer deal, but the former Man Utd player was eager to play just one more season in Europe before returning to Argentina to join Rosario Central, where the player’s career began.
Angel Di Maria recently stated that they are not talking to Rosario Central but the idea is to come back. According to the Argentine, everyone has a dream to go to Europe, he has already achieved it. Now his dream is to return, but he wants to do it well.
Di Maria says that the World Cup is coming and returning to Argentine football limits them from that point of view. If they don’t go to River Plate or Boca Juniors, they usually don’t have a chance to be in the national team. Angel Di Maria wants to continue in Europe until the end, but he feels the need to return to Argentina.
Angel Di Maria is now thinking
The Argentina national team player did negotiate with Barça, but was not satisfied with their offer. Angel Di Maria, however, was convinced that Juventus’s offer was the best and suggested last month that he would make a move to Turin. The Argentine winger said Juventus are the biggest club in Italy and one of the teams that are interested in him. According to Angel Di Maria, he is now reflective, but focuses on holidays and family.
