Juventus target Di Maria begins Barcelona talks

Juventus can probably say goodbye to Angel Di Maria, as agent Jorge Mendes landed in Barcelona for talks to place the free agent at Camp Nou.

The Bianconeri had set a deadline for Di Maria to give his response to their proposal of a two-year contract in Turin, frustrated at his hesitation at accepting the offer.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia and more, it was because the Argentina international was leaning towards Barcelona instead.

A free agent after his Paris Saint-Germain contract expired, it would seem there was truth to that, because agent Jorge Mendes landed in Barcelona this evening.
