We know what you are thinking, but this is not a hoax.
Catalan newspaper Sport reports that Barcelona are close to agreeing on a €50million deal to bring former Real Madrid star Angel Di Maria to the Camp Nou.
The Blaugrana have endured a dismal summer and have so far failed to respond to the embarrassing exit of Neymar to Paris Saint-Germain.
Lionel Messi has just one year remaining on his contract, though signing friend and Argentina colleague Di Maria could help convince him to finally put pen to paper on an extension.
PSG are in need of funds from sales to balance the books for Financial Fair Play after parting with almost £200 million to bring Neymar to the French capital, and Di Maria appears set to be the biggest casualty.
The front page also reveals that Barca will make a final push for Philippe Coutinho and that Ousmane Dembele’s signing is “almost impossible.”
