The departure of Argentine striker Paolo Di Bagno is a foregone conclusion as his contract expires this summer, but his next destination has yet to be revealed. According to the British media, his agent recently appeared in London, and there are rumors that the 28-year-old star may join Arsenal or Manchester United as a free agent.
In March this year, Di Bagno had announced that his contract with Juventus would not be renewed. Initially, it was rumored that he might join Inter Milan alongside another Argentine shot-stopper, Nardo Martinez, but it seems that he and his agent preferred to make a prudent decision and visit the Premier League first to see if there is a club that suits his style.
The Italian media further reported that Di Bagno's agent is in the process of approaching his preferred Premier League club and is willing to join him as long as his annual salary plus bonuses total £6.8 million.
Both Manchester United and Arsenal are said to have a strong interest in him, with United having a bigger name but a limited budget for the new season, while Di Bagno fits the bill as a free agent. Arsenal also have a chance, but Di Bagno's agent wants to be more cautious, and if Arsenal can qualify for the Champions League, Di Bagno may make the decision to join.
