With a possible one-season contract extension looming for Angel Di Maria, an unofficial deal appearing to have been made with PSG officials, Di Maria is reportedly not done with Paris Saint-Germain. But when the time for his departure came, everything would already be clear in his head for his end of career.
After a difficult freelance at Manchester United , Angel Di Maria took the decision to sign at PSG in the summer of 2015. A choice that was quickly justified, to the point of making the man who is nicknamed El Fideo a staple of the Parisian squad as the seasons go by. However, the arrival of his compatriot Lionel Messi in the offseason relegated him to a role of first replacement behind Neymar , Kylian Mbappé and the sevenfold Golden Ball. However, Angel Di Maria would remain an important member of the workforce of Mauricio Pochettino as well as in the minds of the leaders of PSG . The two parties would get along particularly well and would have reached a verbal agreement to activate the option for an additional year in his contract at the end of the season, which would then bind him to Paris < strong> Saint – Germain until the summer of 2023. This is indeed what Le Parisien assured Thursday evening. And RMC Sport went in that direction on Saturday, explaining that an unofficial agreement has even been reached on the matter. However, it would take several months for PSG to formalize the new extension of Angel Di Maria , both parties wanting to take their time before taking the plunge. A news which should make the joy of Di Maria who released a similar message recently to TNT Sports. “I have six months left and I should sign a contract for another year. The truth is, I want to stay, my family is very happy, my daughters are very happy at school. I said it on the website (of the PSG, Editor's note), I would like to leave here by the front door, and if I leave it is to go to Argentine football, I want to finish my contract ”.
One last draw before … the return to Argentina!
And when will it be the next step for Angel Di Maria ? According to RMC Sport, the PSG wingerwould be determined to continue his Parisian adventure and would also seek a new home in the French capital for the last chapter of his love affair with Paris Saint – Germain . As for the next step, a return to Argentina is already taking shape in the minds of Di Maria according to RMC Sport before hanging up the crampons. A desire already recently shared by the PSG striker at TNT Sports. “Rosario Central is always there, I always have it there … The ideal thing for me would be to retire to Central, to go there when I feel good, to be at my best to give them everything that Central gave me. It's football, sometimes I was here or I've been there, but I'm still here. In my head, I always think of going back there, I have my friends, my family, there are these little messages about everything that is missing … You adapt to your life, to your family ”. The scene is set.
