- Juventus winger Angel Di Maria is set to be a free agent at the end of this season
- The winger is yet to agree to a contract extension with the Serie A giants, and suitors have popped up across Europe
- Leading the race for the Argentine are La Liga rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid
Angel Di Maria’s tenure in Europe might be coming to an end because his contract with Juventus expires at the end of the current campaign.
The winger, who turned 35 last week, and the Bianconeri have not yet reached an agreement on an extension, leading to speculation that he would decide to go back to his native country.
The 2022 World Cup champion, however, recently declared himself “happy” in Turin and in Europe without indicating his plans for the future beyond this season.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, Barcelona is considering a surprise approach to sign Angel Di Maria when he becomes a free agent at the end of the current campaign, as stated above.
Di Maria has stated in the past that he hopes to one day play for his hometown team Rosario Central, but at 35, he might be enticed by another season at the highest level.
The former winger for Real Madrid, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain is also thought to interest Barcelona’s La Liga rivals, Atletico Madrid.
