Not Paul Pogba, or Ilkay Gundogan... according to Catalan daily Sport, the big signing of the summer at Camp Nou could be Ángel di María. Manchester United's Argentina winger, formerly of Real Madrid, is at the top of Barcelona's shopping list and, according to Sport, the club have made initial contact but the process is now stalled because of the presidential elections at the club and the player's participation at the Copa América.
Sport reports that Luis Enrique has asked for a new recruit with the characteristics of the "Noodle:" Speed, agility and dribbling prowess so that Leo Messi and Neymar can be freed up from the shackles of numerous markers during games. The idea would be to sign Di María in the summer but he would not be able to play until the second half of the season due to Barcelona's ban on registering new players until January.
Sport states that Di María wants to leave Manchester United after an underwhelming season and that his preferred destination is Spain. Di María is also said to have no problem with lining up for the arch-rivals of his former club, which he left last summer after helping the side to win the Décima.
