Juventus have reportedly changed their proposal to Angel Di Maria, making it a one-year contract with an option for a second rather than a two-year deal, hoping it will convince him to snub Barcelona.
The Argentina international is a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain.
He had been set deadlines to give Juve a response, but there have still not been any developments.
According to Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus realise that the sticking point is Di Maria’s intention to return to Argentina in 2023.
They are therefore prepared to adjust their proposal from a two-year contract to a one-year deal, which also has an option to extend for a second season.
Di Maria continues to discuss the situation with his family, who would prefer a move to Spain.
The 34-year-old did play for Real Madrid from 2010 to 2014, before his €75m transfer to Manchester United, followed by PSG a year later.

Go to Barca lol
Allegri will ruin whatever is left of Di Maria.
“Battle” for 34 yo player. Way to go!
He should have listened to Dani Alves. Vey brave man to work for a rare antique from the foothills of the Tuscany.
As wonderful a player Di Maria is, he’s hardly considered long term investment.. Instead of investing in Italian youth, Juve and Italian football in general continues wasting opportunities by taking the wrong option. Juve could still get 2-3 years out of Di Maria or invest the same into their youth system and potentially have 3-4 good players for the next 10+ years.
He must think all clubs are like spanish clubs and doesn’t seem to understand that if the club says you can leave after a year then it won’t be like Barcelona shafting Messi on a legal technically after giving their word. Sure if he goes to Barcelona they will still find some way to do wrong by him. I figure let him learn.
