Leandro Paredes and Angel di Maria have a very close bond that has turned their families into friends.
The two were on the PSG books before this season and that helped maintain their friendship.
Juventus signed Di Maria as a free agent early in the latest transfer window and began work on adding Paredes to their roster.
They initially needed to get rid of some midfielders to accommodate him, but added him to their squad anyway.
Now one of the best midfielders in the group, he insists that as soon as he heard Juve wanted to sign him, all he was thinking about was moving to Turin to join his friend.
He and Di María did their best to wear the black and white shirt.
He said, quoted by Il Bianconero:
“When I heard that he would come here, we started talking about the possibility of coming to Turin. The families are friends, we decided to come here and we did everything to come”.
Juve FC says
Paredes and Di María are two of the best additions we have made to our squad this summer.
They are still settling in at the club and we expect better performance when that happens.
Paredes has a better fitness record than his friend and we hope to see more of him in our games.
