Juventus offer Angel Di Maria one-year contract on free transfer as 34-year-old winger decides to quit PSG
JUVENTUS have reportedly offered Angel Di Maria a one-year contract after the 34-year-old decided to quit PSG.
The Argentine is set to leave Paris after seven years, with the club celebrating another Ligue 1 title as he departs.
Di Maria chipped in five goals and seven assists in his final season before a potential move to Italy.
Calcio report that Juventus have offered him a one-year contract worth £6.7 million, with the option of an extension.
Di Maria’s contract officially runs out at the end of June and could make the move then if PSG do not make an unlikely last-ditch attempt to keep him.
The star was emotional after scoring in his final PSG game against Metz and receiving a standing ovation from the fans.

He picked up his fifth Ligue 1 title medal at the end of the game after seven trophy-laden seasons at the club.
He appeared to play down a move to Juventus after the game, telling reporters: “Juventus deal? No, no – I’m quiet, there’s time, I have to think… it’s not just my decision.
“I’ve always thought of myself and my family. I’ll make the best choice for everyone – my two daughters, my wife and me”.
