Barcelona to Sign Angel D'Maria

Barcelona are reportedly close to agreeing a €50 million deal to bring former Real Madrid and current PSG star, Angel Di Maria to the Camp Nou, Catalan newspaper Sport reports.

The Spanish giants have had a difficult time in landing their prime targets in the current transfer market and have so far failed to get a replacement for Neymar who switched to Paris Saint-Germain in a world record € 222 million fee.

Lionel Messi has just one year remaining on his current contract, and it is believed that the arrival of a friend and Argentine colleague, Di Maria could help convince him to finally put pen to paper on an extension.
