Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has signed Argentine midfielder Angel Di Maria on a five-year contract from Manchester United for a transfer fee of €50 million ($61 million). The deal was announced by PSG's official website on Tuesday, marking the club's third signing of the summer.
Di Maria is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world and he brings with him a wealth of experience having played for some of Europe's top clubs including Real Madrid, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain himself. He is also known for his excellent passing skills, vision and creativity on the pitch.
The signing of Di Maria is part of PSG's ambitious plans to challenge for major honours this season. With the likes of Neymar Jr., Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe already at the club, Di Maria will be expected to add even more quality to their squad.
The move comes after Manchester United struggled to find consistent form under manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last season. Despite this, Di Maria had been linked with a move away from Old Trafford throughout the summer, with reports suggesting that he was keen to leave the club due to his lack of playing time under Solskjaer.
Despite the controversy surrounding his departure from Manchester United, Di Maria has always been a highly rated player and it remains to be seen whether he can replicate his success at Paris Saint-Germain or not. However, with his talent and experience, he should be able to make an immediate impact for the club and help them achieve their goals this season.
