ANGEL DI MARIA touched down in Turin last night to complete his free transfer move to Juventus.
The former Manchester United winger, 34, has left Paris Saint-Germain after an epic seven-year stint in the French capital.
He marked his final PSG game with a farewell goal before leaving the pitch in a flood of tears back in May.
Speculation was rife then that he would be heading to Juventus – although he insisted he would be consulting with his wife and family before deciding his next club.
Now the Argentinean has made up his mind and is set to become a Juventus player within days.
Juventus tweeted a clip of Di Maria emerging from a private plane on the runway with the veteran all smiles as he waved to the camera last night.

His warm welcome continued as he headed to the Allianz Stadium as hundreds of fans waited to see him.
And the veteran was only too happy to sign scarves and shirts for his new adoring public.
Di Maria is now set to sign a one-year deal, which is believed to include the option of an additional 12-months, worth around £5.2million.
He now just needs to complete his medical before signing on the dotted line.

Di Maria joined PSG, from Manchester United in 2015 and was a key figure at the club under Laurent Blanc, Unai Emery, Thomas Tuchel and Mauricio Pochettino.
The 121-time Argentina international played in 30 games across all competitions for PSG last season, scoring four goals.
In total, he has made 294 appearances at the Paris club, scoring 91 goals.
He won the Ligue 1 title five times at Parc des Princes as well as the same number of French Cups.
