Juventus is turning to a pair of free transfers in hopes of regaining its place as Italy’s preeminent club.
Ángel Di María’s signing was confirmed on Friday, while Paul Pogba’s is set to follow, with Juve taking advantage of the players’ contracts running out at PSG and Manchester United, respectively.
For Di María, it marks his first foray into Serie A after a standout career traversing the Portuguese league (Benfica), La Liga (Real Madrid), Premier League (Manchester United) and Ligue 1 (PSG). He is signed on a one-year deal and could have a big role to play on the wing from the start, with Federico Chiesa still recovering from a torn ACL suffered in January.
