All these news recalled some of Di Maria’s past declarations during an interview to SoFoot concerning a Barça move.

“My relationship with Madrid is finished because my cycle there ended. Frankly, I wouldn’t have a problem to play at Barca, to the contrary”, he said at that time.

“I was close to joining Barcelona in the summer and yet far away at the same time. It is hard to complete moves to these clubs. I never lost hope of it going through but in the end, it didn’t happen.”
