Blow for Barca as Juventus to put in improved offer for Di Maria

Angel Di Maria has to resolve his future in the coming days. The Argentinian international did not renew his PSG contract and he has three important offers on the table: Juventus, Benfica and Barcelona are fighting for his signing. 

Initially, everything seemed to indicate that Di Maria was closest to striking a deal with the Catalan outfit. However, the Italian board have taken a decision which could swing it in their favour. 

'Corriere dello Sport' reports that Juventus will improve their offer for Di Maria in the coming hours and they will offer him a salary of approximately seven million euros a year plus a series of bonuses.

Up to now, there is nothing confirmed officially, but the truth is that this offer could define the Argentinian's future, although there is still one offer to resolve... The 34 year-old winger wants just a one year contract whereas Juve are offering him two years.

Once this difference is resolved, Di Maria is likely to join the Italian side. In the meantime, Barcelona will have to come up with a better offer to get him to move to Xavi's side.
