Angel Di Maria has dropped hints he could be on his way to Barcelona following their 3-0 win over Real Madrid in El Clasico.
Angel Di Maria has long been linked with a transfer to Barcelona and he admitted earlier this year he came close to making the move last summer.
The reports have not died away and talk of a switch to Barca for the Argentina international in January has picked up.
Lionel Messi is said to be a catalyst behind the deal and is keen to have his fellow countryman atthe Nou Camp.
And Di Maria fuelled the reports following Barca’s 3-0 win over Real Madrid in El Clasico by liking a number of photos of the Catalan side celebrating the victory.

The 29-year-old’s activity on Instagram did not go unnoticed and it certainly riled a few Real fans.
Di Maria spent four years at the Bernabeu and his affection for Barca did not go down well with the Los Blancos faithful.
“So Di Maria is going to Barcelona… f*****g snake!” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Di Maria flirting with Barca… desperate,” another said.
“I dont wanna see him in a Barca shirt,” a third supporter wrote.
Speaking last month about a potential move to Barca, Di Maria admitted his Real past would not prevent him from making the switch.
“I was close to joining Barcelona – close and far away at the same time,” he told ESPN.
“It’s difficult to go to such a club. It wasn’t done, but life sometimes has surprises, you never know.
“The chance of going there wasn’t affected by the fact that I had already worn the white of Real Madrid.
“I might have been whistled at Camp Nou before, but it was nothing significant.”
