BARCELONA are closing in on the transfer of Paris Saint-Germain winger Angel Di Maria.
The Catalan club are desperate for attacking reinforcements following the £198million sale of Neymar to the French outfit.
And now they look likely to deal with PSG again over the transfer of former Real Madrid man Di Maria.
The Argentinian's place in the starting XI is under threat, especially as PSG are believed to be tracking Monaco wonderkid Kylian Mbappe.
Last night in the Super Cup, Barca were comfortably seen off 5-1 on aggregate by fierce rivals Real Madrid, leaving boss Eernesto Valverde in no doubt he needs some big-money signings to turn things around.
And he has been hit with the news Luis Suarez is set for a spell on the sidelines after picking up a knee injury in the El Clasico match.
Suarez pulled up late in the clash at the Bernabeu and with all three substitutes already made, he reluctantly saw the rest of the match out.
As well as the start of the La Liga season, he will miss Uruguay’s World Cup qualifiers against Argentina and Paraguay.
