Juventus transfers: why Di Maria is a priority for Allegri

Massimiliano Allegri is pushing to sign Angel Di Maria, who is on holiday in Ibiza, from where he will decide whether to accept Juventus‘ offer.

The Argentinean star is available as a free agent after the end of his contract with PSG. He is currently enjoying his holidays in Ibiza, from where he will give a final answer to the Bianconeri.

Di Maria wants a one-year contract which would allow him to return to Argentina in 2023. However, the Bianconeri have offered him a one-year deal with an option for another season, which El Fideo can activate next year. A two-year contract would allow the Serie A giants to use the growth decree and get a 50% cut on the player’s gross salary.

Buffon: ‘Di Maria like Maradona for Serie A’

The 34-year-old is a priority for Max Allegri, who believes experienced players will be key in helping the Old Lady become title contenders again next season. Juventus have missed out on the Scudetto during the last two campaigns after winning nine successive Serie A titles.

Allegri has urged the club to finalise the deal, but Di Maria will only give a final answer in the next few days. Barcelona are also believed to be interested in the winger, but the Catalans must solve their financial issues before making an official offer for the ex-Man United star.
