Barcelona drop Di Maria, Juve are waiting for an answer

The Blaugrana club, initially interested in the Argentine, would have abandoned due to the age of Fideo, but the renunciation hides economic reasons

The love story between Angel Di Maria and Barcelona remains a very fleeting flirtation that seems to have already been archived. “Di Maria’s hypothesis is deflated by the age of the player” reads a title del Mundo Deportivo of today. In reality, the thing had never swelled much, also because the age of the ‘Fideo’, 34 years old, has been known to everyone for some time.

only one offer

Let’s summarize: once released by the PSG, the Argentine player began to look around. He received only one offer, that of Juventus, and the interest of Benfica was transmitted to him. In the last few days there has been a meeting with Barcelona, ​​an exploratory phone call to start probing the idea of ​​a possible negotiation. The thing remained there, for various reasons.

released over 30

Age centers relatively: Aubemayang taken in January, Lewandowski goal, Marcos Alonso, Azpilcueta: Barça has taken the track of the over 30s, preferably released. The reality is that Barça has enormous economic problems (the signings of Kessié and Christensen have not yet been registered due to lack of funds), and also for this Di Maria has never been a priority objective. In fact, an offer was never made to Leo Messi’s great friend. There was a poll, and it quickly cooled down. For Juve – who have issued a clear ultimatum to the player and from which they are waiting for an answer in these hours – one less opponent.
