Di Maria joins Ancelotti at Napoli?

By Football Italia staff

Napoli are in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain forward Angel Di Maria, according to reports, seeking a Carlo Ancelotti reunion.

The 30-year-old Argentina international’s contract is due to expire next summer, so he would be available for an affordable price.

This season, he scored 21 goals with 15 assists in 45 competitive games for PSG.

According to transfer specialists Agenti Anonimi, Di Maria and his agent were in Milan today for a meeting with Napoli director of sport Cristiano Giuntoli.

This comes on the same day that Napoli parted company with Coach Maurizio Sarri, announced via Twitter by President Aurelio De Laurentiis.

Ancelotti is due to take over imminently and it would be a reunion with Di Maria, as they worked together at Real Madrid from 2013 to 2015.

Di Maria can play a number of attacking roles, but primarily on the right flank, which would make him a replacement for Jose Callejon.

The Spaniard has been linked with a move to Milan or to follow wherever Sarri goes, having worked so well in his tactical system.
