Former Real Madrid star Angel Di Maria linked with Barcelona move

The football world is awash with gossip! Transfer Talk is monitoring the whispers ahead of all the summer moves. Check out the latest deals and potential deals here.

Di Maria to join Messi at Barca?

Barcelona are interested in signing Angel Di Maria from Paris Saint-Germain as a replacement for Arda Turan, according to Mundo Deportivo.

It has been widely reported that Turan will depart the Camp Nou this summer after failing to break into the Barca side on a regular basis. But news that former Real Madrid man Di Maria could replace him comes as a surprise, with Mundo also claiming Lionel Messi is keen to link up with his fellow Argentina international.

Meanwhile, Sport adds that Rafinha Alcantara, a reported target for Liverpool, Arsenal, Juventus and Roma, wants assurances over his playing time at the club and could be allowed to leave.

Although Barca are willing to sell they will consider only offers of €30 million for the 24-year-old.

Salah deal close, Ox slips

There's good and bad news for Liverpool as Jurgen Klopp seeks to add numbers to his squad ahead of their Champions League return.

A £35 million deal for Roma winger Mohamed Salah appears close to completion with sources telling ESPN FC more talks between the two clubs are scheduled to take place about a move that will earn the 24-year-old £100,000 a week.

However, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is not willing to make the same move to Merseyside and will reject their advances in order to sign a new contract with Arsenal worth more than £100,000 a week, a second report in the Mirror claims.

The 23-year-old England international is entering the final year of his contract at Arsenal but is ready to commit his long-term future to the club.
