Argentina winger Di Maria is understood to be ready to quit Paris Saint Germain next summer with his contract running down.
And despite an unhappy spell at Manchester United, the 30-year-old is open to coming back to England.
Di Maria wants a deal worth £200,000-a-week and that limits his options and the Premier League looks to be the most likely destination.
Juventus were interested last summer, Di Maria claimed earlier in the year that Barcelona were keen and his advisers are believed to be sounding out English clubs.
Di Maria quit Old Trafford in 2015 - signing a four year contract at PSG - after a disastrous year following a £59.7m move to United.
Di Maria was deemed a disaster in England but his agents are convinced he could get a move back to the Premier League
