At the end of the contract in June, Angel Di Maria is moving more and more towards a departure from Paris Saint-Germain. The capital club wants to replace the Argentinian with Lucas Paqueta (Lyon).
Di Maria could leave PSG at the end of the season
I have an optional extra year if both parties agree. If I can leave at the end of the season in the event of a major title? Above all, I hope to have another year. Despite his repeated desire at the end of November to extend his contract which ends in June, Angel Di Maria’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is increasingly uncertain.
Di Maria heads for the exit
A month ago, L’Equipe explained that the Parisian management was reluctant to activate the option to extend the Argentine winger’s contract for an additional year, i.e. until June 2023. This Sunday, the sports daily is even more pessimistic: El Fideo is not very far from definitively leaving Paris SG’s plans for next season!
This situation is explained in particular by the performance of Di Maria. Author of 3 goals and 5 assists in 23 games in all competitions, including 17 as a starter, the former Madrid player is no longer as decisive as in the past. The native of Rosario no longer appears as an indispensable element in the eyes of the Parisian leaders, who have other projects for their offensive sector.
PSG want Paqueta
Indeed, if the PSG is not in a hurry to extend the ex-Mancunian, it is also because it wishes to regenerate its workforce in certain positions. With this in mind, the Parisian leaders are determined to replace the 34-year-old attacking midfielder with a younger element: Lucas Paqueta (24). As mentioned in recent months, the Brazilian from Olympique Lyonnais is one of the Ligue 1 leader’s priority targets for the next transfer window.
If the negotiations with Jean-Michel Aulas do not look simple, Paris has financial arguments to crack the Lyon president. Well, now, as I always say, 80 million euros we always think about, even for other players , slipped JMA last January. Requirements that might not scare PSG. Much to Di Maria’s chagrin…
