Di Maria: the Argentine is preparing to leave Juventus

Despite the contacts made in recent weeks, Fideo travels quickly towards a new professional adventure.

Is (more than) 40 days enough to get an answer? Yes. Juventus are well aware that, in order to get their hands on Angel Di Maria , they had to wait more than a month last summer. Understandable, considering the specific weight of the Argentine, even more so seeing how the original Allegri 2.0 project should have ridden the wave of the so-called "instant team", perhaps passing through some high-level free agent.

Then, it is known, everything in football can change quickly. And maybe some marriages don't work out. For example, the one with the Fideo . Ups and downs, little continuity of performance, between a complicated 2022 and a 2023 - so far - in the name of great performances associated with other decidedly opaque ones. The result? Di Maria, most likely, will not wear the Old Lady's jacket next season .

The wind has changed and, probably, the strategy of the Continassa men has changed . Which, analyzing the costs and the personal data component, evidently decided to take another path.

The turning point would come after the away game in Sevilla . A performance, the one offered by the former PSG, which would have led Juve to opt for the end credits . And, always according to the well-informed, it will be difficult for them to change their minds in the Piedmontese capital.

Furthermore, there are those who say that the Fideo entourage has already started to move to evaluate the goodness of the European market , as Angel could still do it another year in football that matters.

In the very recent past, the sirens of La Liga have not been lacking , a championship similar to the characteristics of the albiceleste champion. Any reference to what is proposed in the ranks of Real Madrid is purely intentional.

In short, with a few social digs here and there , Di Maria's adventure in Turin seems to have reached the end credits. Without major regrets, reciprocal, since from the beginning there was talk of an annual agreement that was fleeting and hypothetically functional for both parties : more experience for Juve, the possibility of preparing for the World Cup in Qatar under the banner of maximum competitiveness. On balance things went (definitely) better for Fideo, protagonist of the final act against France.

And Juventus? He will have to evaluate new options. Having said this, considering the many critical issues that accompany Juventus' current situation, the market is not that - in the current state of things - it represents a priority thought for the board . Ultimately, precedence goes to other situations: see what to do and not to do with Massimiliano Allegri.
