Di Maria keeps Juventus on hold while waiting for Barcelona to make an offer
Barcelona is looking to strengthen their wide areas, but it is unclear with whom. Ousmane Dembele has not yet ruled out or confirmed his contract renewal.
Raphinha is the Catalans' second choice after the Frenchman. Angel Di Maria comes in third. The Argentine, like the Brazilian, has other offers but is waiting for word from the Catalan club.
Juventus are making a strong bid for the former Real Madrid star, whose contract with French champions PSG expires next week.
But Di Maria, 34, refuses to rush into anything. He welcomes and values the Italian side's interest, but wishes to postpone a decision.
He is waiting for word from Camp Nou.
"Juve are Italy's biggest club and one of the teams interested in me. I'm thinking right now, but I'm focused on the holidays and my family "Di Maria told ESPN.
Coincidence
Surprisingly, Di Maria and Raphinha are both in Ibiza these days.
The former Real Madrid player, who has spent the last seven seasons at PSG, made 31 appearances in 2021/22.
Di Maria is aware that he is not Xavi Hernandez's first choice, but he is willing to wait a few more days before signing with another club.
Angel Di Maria is one of several players linked with a move to Barcelona this summer, and the Argentine has spoken briefly about his future.
The winger, who is a free agent after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, has been linked to Juventus, and he admits the Serie A giants are a possibility.
"Juve is Italy's biggest club and one of the teams interested in me," he explained.
"Right now, I'm reflecting and focusing on holidays and family."
Football Italia is the source.
According to the rumor mill, Di Maria is waiting to hear from Barcelona before making a final decision on his next move, as he would rather return to Spain than play in the Premier League.
Di Maria, along with Raphinha and Ousmane Demble, is one of several options out wide for Barcelona next season.
