When it seemed that everything was heading for the continuity of Angel Di Maria at Juventus, the negotiations got bogged down and now the departure of the Argentine from Turin seems imminent. Offers will not be lacking to the world champion in Qatar, however there is an old acquaintance who bites in tip where he could reunite with a companion of the Scaloneta.
Benfica of Portugal, the first team he jumped to in the Old Continent is interested in having world champion Angel Di Maria again, who was already in the Portuguese team between 2007 and 2010, and is unlikely to remain at Juventus, Italy.
Angelito was sold from Rosario Central to Benfica in 2007. He stayed there for three years, won a League and two League Cups, and saw the best version of Rosario, so much so, that he earned his pass to Real Madrid.
According to the Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Di Maria ends his union with Juventus on June 30 and Benfica intends to recover him, since he had a great step by the club more than a decade ago.
The former Rosario Central played in the Portuguese team a total of 121 games (15 goals and 28 assists) and won three titles, a local league and two League Cups.

Benfica sold Di Maria to Real Madrid in a sum close to 35,000,000 euros and the Rosario then wore the shirts of Manchester United of England and Paris Saint-Germain of France, before landing at the "Juve".
In the last season Di Maria played for Juventus 39 games, in which he scored eight goals and gave seven assists.
However, Benfica's task to seduce the Rosario will not be easy because he also received offers from Saudi Arabia.
The Portuguese team already has a world champion in its squad, defender Nicolás Otamendi, and now it goes for Fideo.
