Xavi’s team see him very favourably and believe he would bring experience, versatility and immediate performance.
Talks are now ongoing between the club and the player’s entourage to understand whether a deal is feasible.
A move is understood to be difficult and will require Barcelona to sell players in order to take on his salary.
Although, he is wanting just a one-year contract with the idea of spending one more season in Europe before returning to Rosario Central in 2023.
Barça vs Juve for Di María
Juventus have been working on a move to sign Di María for two months but they are now at risk of missing out.
The Argentine has said ‘yes’ to Barcelona and prefers a move to Spain over Turin.
But despite, Barça and the player wanting to make the move happen, Juve have not yet given up.
The Catalan club still have lots of work to do on a deal that will be ‘difficult’.
