Angel Di Maria had been playing for Paris Saint-Germain for the last seven years. His next destination remains unknown, as Juventus happens to be in his signing race.
Argentine striker Angel Di Maria has officially parted ways with French champion Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). He has brought his eventful and successful seven-year stint in the French capital to an end. He signed for the club in 2015 for around £44 million from English giants Manchester United after an unsuccessful 2014-15 season. Since then, he has netted 91 goals in 294 matches across competitions and has won 18 titles with the side, including five Ligue 1 titles. Although he never won the UEFA Champions League (UCL) with the side, he did finish as the runner-up. The club confirmed his departure in a statement on Friday night.
