  • Barcelona are in a race against time to sign Angel Di Maria from Paris Saint-Germain.

    According to Sport, the Catalans have decided to settle for the former Real Madrid star after failing to land Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool.

    Barcelona had offers of €25 million and €35 million for the Argentine midfielder turned down but PSG have reduced the asking price to €60 million from €90 million.

    The La Liga outfit will continue negotiations in a bid to complete the transfer in time. The Spanish deadline is at 11pm on September 1 local time (3am GST on September 2).

    Di Maria won the Champions League, a La Liga title and two Copa del Reys during his time at Madrid.

    Barcelona are determined to bring in the 29-year-old after securing the signature of Ousmane Dembele from Borussia Dortmund.
