Juventus have reached an agreement in principle for the free signings of PSG playmaker, Angel Di Maria and Inter winger Ivan Perisic.
Italian sports outlet, Gazzetta dello Sport confirmed that the duo will be joining the Old Ladies after the end of their respective contracts with their current clubs in the summer.
Argentine playmaker, Di Maria has been linked with a move to Juventus since news broke out he’ll leave Paris at the end of the season and has been identified as the man to replace his countryman, Paulo Dybala, who will leave Juventus this summer after seven seasons.
Ivan Perisic was confirmed to be close to joining Chelsea after Inter struggled to reach agreement on the details of a new contract but it looks the Italian giants are now in pole position to claim the services of the Croat.
It is a huge blow for Chelsea who are looking to add more firepower to their attack but Thomas Tuchel will be on the lookout for alternatives, should Juventus eventually beat them to Perisic’s signature.
