Juventus sign Di Maria on a one-year deal on a free transfer. After a seven-year break with PSG, there were rumors that Barcelona and Juventus could sign Angel Di Maria. The Argentine star has finally agreed to tie the knot with the Turin club. The contract has been signed for one year, waiting for the official announcement.
Fabrizio Romano, a reliable journalist on football transfers, confirmed the matter on Wednesday (July 7th). Romano said Juventus had reached a full deal to sign De Maria for a free transfer. After a long discussion with the Argentine star, the Turin club has prepared the documents for one year. He will travel to Italy this week to sign the contract.
Earlier, not only Barcelona, but several clubs in Europe were interested in getting De Maria. Romano said he turned down an offer to play for the English club despite receiving a hefty offer. The Argentine star, who previously played in the Premier League and La Liga, wanted to take on a new challenge in a new country, so he is moving to Italy.
Juventus set to complete Di Maria and Pogba
In addition to Di Maria, Juventus are also pulling Paul Pogba for free. According to Romano, the French star, who left Manchester United, will sign a formal contract with Juventus on Saturday (July 9). If all goes well, Allegri will make a big bet this summer. The coach of Turin is recruiting two world class players for free.
Meanwhile, the Italian giants have been suffering since Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo left the team. In the last two seasons, the team has dropped out of the race for the league title. However, this time the Pogba-de Maria pair can only show the light of hope to the supporters of Turin.
