Angel Di Maria is symbolic of Juventus’ issues under previous president Andrea Agnelli, being a well-known and expensive player who has not carried his weight in Turin, reports detail.

The 34-year-old Argentinian signed a one-year deal with the Bianconeri last summer after ending a seven-year spell with Paris Saint-Germain, where he proved himself to be one of the best wingers in Europe.

Since arriving in Turin, Di Maria has struggled to match expectations, only showing brief flashes of the player he was in the French capital.

As reported by Tuttosport, patience is starting to grow thin with Di Maria in the Piedmont capital, with both Juventus and their fans expecting more from the veteran winger, who’ll earn €7m net for this season.

In some ways, Di Maria is emblematic of the issues that hindered the latter stages of the Agnelli era, being an expensive well-known signing who hasn’t managed to justify his hefty salary yet.

The 34-year-old’s contract expires with Juventus at the end of this season and the club are currently debating whether or not to offer him a new deal.
