Barcelona’s twitter account was hacked in the early hours of Wednesday morning as they ‘announced’ the signing of Angel di Maria from Paris Saint-Germain.
With only nine days to go until the end of the transfer window, the club’s fans will be glued to social media channels in anticipation of a big signing.
And one name heavily linked with a move to the Camp Nou is former Real Madrid winger Di Maria, who is one of a number of names being linked to Barca as a potential replacement for Neymar.
Neymar left in a world-record deal worth £200million and early on Wednesday morning it appeared that the Catalan giants had made a breakthrough in the transfer market.
The tweet read: “Welcome Angel Di Maria to FC Barcelona! #DiMariaFCB.”
However, the club soon confirmed they had been the victims of a hack and apologised on social media.
“Hi FC Barcelona, it’s OurMine (Security Group), please contact us – ourmine.org ->.
“Contact Us, and sorry for the hoax.”
And it turns out that the same messages had been posted to Barcelona’s other social media platforms as well.
