Barcelona transfer news: Angel Di Maria's agent at the Nou Camp to finalise deal - Balague
ANGEL DI MARIA’s representatives are at the Nou Camp trying to finalise a late move - but Barcelona think they have missed the chance to add to their squad.
Angel Di Maria wants to join Barcelona this summer
Barcelona are desperate to bolster their side after losing Neymar and missing out on Philippe Coutinho.
Barca managed to sign Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund but still look short of quality.
And Guillem Balague claims Di Maria’s representatives are in Barca trying to sort a late deal.
But he also claims Barca think they have left things too late and cannot afford to pay what PSG want.
“Barcelona putting all their efforts to get Angel di Maria,” Balague tweeted. “His representatives are at the Camp Nou offices #Mendes2TheRescue”
He then added however: “Barcelona unable/unwilling to pay what PSG asking for di Maria. So, right now, FCB saying they won't add to the squad as market gone "crazy”.”
Lionel Messi wants a deal for Di Maria complete as he fears not being able to compete with Real Madrid this season.
Barca were thrashed by Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup before the La Liga season got underway.
And, despite Barca winning their first two La Liga games, there are fears they will be left behind.
Di Maria is keen to leave PSG after Neymar arrived putting his place in the side in doubt.
