“Real Madrid and Benfica have reached an agreement for the transfer of Angel di Maria. The player will sign a six-year contract with Real Madrid.”

Di Maria is happy to making the move to Los Blanco’s and is excited to have a chance to play with some of the best players in the world. Earning the respect of his Nations head-coach Diego Maradona, the expectations for Di Maria are high and will have a chance to learn a lot from experienced players and one of the best coaches in the world.
Although most of his focus is in the World Cup, Di Maria went on to say the following about his move to Madrid :
“It is an honour to know that Jose Mourinho wants to sign me. It will be very nice to play in the same team as Cristiano Ronaldo and many other stars, but for now I’m focused on the Argentina team.”
