Angel Di Maria is targeted by thieves AGAIN as three burglars try to force their way into Juventus star’s home as he relaxed with his family… after the Argentine was also the victim of raids when at Man United and PSG
- One of the three suspects was arrested by police after an alarm sounded
- Unconfirmed reports said neighbours heard gun shots close to the scene
- The attempted break-in occurred at around 7.30pm on Thursday evening
- Di Maria was at home with his family and a Juventus team-mate at the time
- Argentine winger, 34, made the move to Juventus from PSG in the summer
- He was previously targeted by burglars when at Manchester United and PSG
Police have frustrated a violent break-in at new Juventus signing Angel Di Maria’s mansion.
The former Manchester United flop, targeted by burglars while he was at Old Trafford and former club Paris Saint-Germain, was said to have been relaxing with his family and a teammate when the incident occurred.
One of the three suspects was arrested after an alarm sounded and police raced to the scene after being contacted by a private security firm.
Detectives were said to be hunting the other two criminals.
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport said the attempted break-in around 7.30pm on Thursday occurred in the same area of Turin where Cristiano Ronaldo and his family lived while he played for Juventus.
Juventus star Angel Di Maria’s home was targeted by burglars on Thursday night as the Argentine relaxed with his family and a team-mate

Unconfirmed reports said neighbours had heard shots and a gun had been found near the scene.
Di Maria, who provided a hat-trick of assists in his team’s 3-1 Champions League home win over Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday, has yet to comment on social media.
The 34-year-old Argentinian put his £4.1million Prestbury mansion up for sale in March 2015 a month after trespassers tried to force entry to the luxury house while he had dinner inside with his wife Jorgelina Cardoso and daughters Mia and Pia.
They relocated to a luxury hotel after the attempted break-in, which occurred less than a year after Di Maria joined Manchester United for a British transfer record fee of £59.7m.
Di Maria was also targeted in March when at Paris Saint-Germain, when manager Mauricio Pochettino took him off during a match so he could return to his family at home
In March last year he was substituted during a PSG game after it emerged his home had been burgled with his family inside.
Three men and a minor were subsequently arrested over the raid, in which the intruders reportedly got away with more than £400,000 in jewellery and watches from a safe.

Although initial reports claimed Jorgelina and their two daughters had been kidnapped, it later emerged they were inside the house but had not discovered the break-in until afterwards or had any contact with the criminals.
Dusan Vlahovic, who scored one of Juventus’ three goals on Wednesday, is the teammate said to have been at Di Maria’s mansion when the attempted break-in occurred.
The Argentinian, who spent a forgettable season at United, has now set up more goals in Champions League history than Lionel Messi and is just four behind Cristiano Ronaldo who has the most assists at 42.
