TURIN -- Former Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon said the Old Lady's signing of Angel di Maria was the right move. Di Maria, said Buffon, would be the ideal player to be able to support and maximize the sharpness of the Bianconeri's main striker, Dusan Vlahovic.


Juventus has officially signed the Argentine attacking midfielder on Friday (8/7/2022) local time. Di Maria was recruited on a free transfer after ending his contract with Paris Saint Germain (PSG).


At Juventus, the player nicknamed El Fideo is tied to a one-year contract. Buffon, who was once a teammate of Di Maria at PSG, considered the signing of the former Real Madrid midfielder an extraordinary signing by Juventus. Moreover, the Old Lady got Di Maria's signature without releasing a penny of the transfer value.

''For me, it is an extraordinary recruit, let alone obtained for free. I feel like he hasn't gotten the recognition he deserves in Italy. However, Italy will soon realize the ability of Di Maria,''said Buffon in an interview with La Stampa as reported by Calciomercato , Saturday (9/7/2022).

The goalkeeper who has strengthened Juventus on two occasions admits that Di Maria tends to be ignored and is often under the shadow of his teammates. However, Buffon said, Di Maria is the type of player who is willing to sacrifice for the benefit of the team. During his seven years with PSG, Di Maria became one of the most prolific players in Europe.

In total, Di Maria has packed 93 goals and 119 assists from 295 appearances in all competitions. Can be placed in almost any position between midfield and attack, from winger to attacking midfielder, the 34-year-old has a special ability to see gaps and provide assists for the attacking line.

This ability, said Buffon, that makes Di Maria a suitable player to support the sharpness of Vlahovic. The Argentina international is expected to provide the ball for Vlahovic, who has scored seven goals in 21 appearances since joining Juventus midway through this season.

''They would be very suitable. The cooperation of the two of them was an ideal situation. Angel (Di Maria) likes to score goals. However, he can also push his teammates away. He knows how to provide support and supply the ball. He is the assist-man . In addition, he also provides a balance in terms of tactics,''said the Parma goalkeeper.
