Barcelona have submitted a spectacular bid to sign Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid.<\/p>\n
According to reports in Spain, a representative from the Catalan club made the offer to their bitter rivals for Di Maria on Friday.<\/p>\n
However, there are indications that Real president Florentino Perez refused to even negotiate the possible transfer.<\/p>\n
Los Blancos manager Carlo Ancelotti had confirmed during the week that the winger wants to leave the club.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThe Argentine is a Real Madrid player until the end of the transfer window.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s surprised me to ready that there have been disagreements between myself and the club. There are no disagreements and both parties are thinking the same way.<\/p>\n
“Di Mar\u00eda has asked to leave and has rejected a new contract offer from the club.<\/p>\n
“This is a situation the player himself has to resolve. If he doesn\u2019t seek a solution for his future, he\u2019ll keep working with us and there won\u2019t be any problems.\u201d<\/p>\n
Di Maria is thought to want a wage increase but Perez has refused to meet his demands.<\/p>\n
Barcelona hope to pull off the incredible deal due to the stand-off between the player and the club.<\/p>\n
Manchester United were thought to be in the clear to sign the Argentine after PSG pulled out of the race.<\/p>\n
