Barcelona Despite his Real Madrid past

Real Madrid may feature on his CV, but Angel di Maria could become a Barcelona player during this wild summer transfer window.

With the Catalan club still reeling from Paris Saint-Germain's capture of Neymar, they are looking to bring in fresh attacking talent, with Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele top of the list, but with Di Maria another option.

The team from the French capital could be open to his sale, given that he has had his issues with coach Unai Emery, given that they need to bring in some money to comply with Financial Fair Play rules and given that he currently has two years left on his four-year deal, making this a profitable time to consider moving him on.

That Lionel Messi would love to work with his international teammate at the Camp Nou is just another reason for the Catalan club to work on the 29-year-old's arrival.

Furthermore, the anti-Barcelona clause inserted into his contract when he departed the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in 2014 only lasted for three years, so there would now be no need for a fee to be paid to Real Madrid if he signs for their domestic rivals.

However, as much as Barcelona would be interested in the Argentine, the Blaugrana would have to negotiate with PSG for the player they signed from Manchester United in 2015, which could prove difficult given the current state of the relationship between the two institutions.
