Angel Di Maria arrived at Juventus this season to try to end the poor run of titles in the last two seasons. However, the team coached by Massimiliano Allegri was penalized with the loss of 15 points and broke the bianconeri club's aspirations. In this context, the 'Vecchia Signora' is looking to renew 'Fideo', who received a derogatory nickname from the fans.

It was not a good start for the world champion in Italy. After leaving PSG, he arrived at the Serie A giant to lead the new sporting project, however, injuries prevented him from consolidating and provoked the anger of the fans, who do not want to see him in the next campaign. Di María's contract expires in mid-2023, but the board hopes to keep him for one more year.

'La Gazzetta dello Sport' pointed out that Juventus is thinking about extending the contract of Di Maria, who starred in the World Cup in Qatar, especially in the group stage and in the final against France, where he scored a goal and lifted the coveted title. While 'Juve' wants the winger to continue, the fans gave him an unpleasant nickname.

How do they refer to Angel Di Maria in Italy?

Through social networks, Juventus fans described Angel Di Maria as "old man". Most of the comments were based on the age of the 34-year-old Argentina international, who confirmed that he will be present at the Copa América 2024.
