'Di Maria in Serie A, is like Maradona': Former Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon insists his former PSG team mate could be as good as the Argentine legend in the Serie A, if he joins The Old Lady

Former Juventus legend Gianluigi Buffon insists his former team-mate Angel Di Maria would be as good as Diego Maradona, if he is to join Juventus this summer.

Di Maria is leaving Paris Saint-Germain on a free at the end of his contract following seven seasons with the Ligue 1 club.

The 34-year-old is among the most high-profile free agents available in the summer transfer window, with both Juventus and Barcelona interested in signing him.

Buffon, who spent one season alongside Di Maria in France in 2018-19, believes the former Real Madrid and Manchester United winger has the ability to become another talismanic presence in the Italian top-flight – much like the late Maradona.
