Angel Di Maria: I was very close to joining Barcelona
The player revealed that he came extremely close to the Camp Nou
He admits he is working with a psychologist to improve
In an interview with ESPN, Angel Di Maria spoke about nearly joining Barcelona from PSG this summer.
“I was close to joining Barcelona – close and far away at the same time,” he told ESPN. “It’s difficult to go to such a club. It wasn’t done, but life sometimes has surprises, you never know.
“The chance of going there wasn’t affected by the fact that I had already worn the white of Real Madrid. I might have been whistled at Camp Nou before, but it was nothing significant.
“Apart from Newell’s Old Boys, because I am a supporter of Rosario Central, I could play anywhere. And wherever I go, I will always give my maximum.”
Di Maria also revealed he has been working with a psychologist to improve and try to avoid the injuries which have impeded him from being at his best.
