Despite signing a one-year contract extension with Juventus, there was a possibility of renewal for Ángel Di María. However, all possibilities were lost due to the club's financial irregularities, resulting in a deduction of 10 points for the "Old Lady of Turin." This penalty has changed everything for the club.

Due to this punishment affecting Juventus' future plans, Di María has decided to leave the club. Yesterday, he announced this decision on his Instagram, expressing, "I have reached a difficult and complicated phase. But at the time of farewell, I find peace in knowing that I have done everything to lead the club to victory. Although it was not possible, I bid farewell with a bitter taste in my mouth."

Outside the field, Di María thanked the Juventus fans and supporters. The 35-year-old star wrote, "I was part of a fantastic dressing room. From the first day, the fans and their love and affection overwhelmed me. I am grateful to everyone for that. It has always felt like my home. I send my best wishes with a big hug to all the Juventus fans who have shown me their love. Juventus, you will always remain in my heart."

Di María joined Juventus for one season in 2022 from PSG. He had the opportunity to sign a new contract, but the deduction of 10 points not only affected their chances in the Champions League but also prevented them from qualifying for the Europa League. Consequently, he had to say goodbye to his former team, Real Madrid. In a total of 40 matches, Di María scored 8 goals and provided assistance in 7 goals. Despite leaving Juventus, this winger can still stay in Italy with Napoli, the former champions, after 33 years.
