The winger had been in talks with Juventus but the Spanish club have now entered the frame.

Barça have already held discussions with him and both parties are keen to make the move happen.

Barça-Di María head in positive direction

Xavi's team see him very favourably and believe that the Argentine 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 complicated, and will require Barcelona to sell players in order to take on Di Maria's salary.

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 Catalan club still have lots of work to do on a transfer that will be 'difficult'.
