Real Madrid star Angel Di Maria set to join Paris Saint-Germain

According to SportsMail, Real Madrid star Angel Di Maria is set to join Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth £63million, according to reports in Spain.

Marca report that the Argentina playmaker will become Real's record sale, beating the £42.5m received last summer from Arsenal for Mesut Ozil.

The one stumbling block to the deal could be UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations, as the French champions have already spent £50m buying David Luiz from Chelsea.


In order to bring in Di Maria, PSG would have to offload one of their star assets, most likely the unsettled Edinson Cavani.

But it may be possible for them to take Di Maria on a one-season loan to bypass the regulations before signing him permanently next summer.

However, Real manager Carlo Ancelotti still expects the player, who helped Argentina to the final of the World Cup, to return to training on August 5.

When asked if Di Maria was set to leave the Bernabeu, Ancelotti replied: 'There is nothing new in the market. Di Maria finished the World Cup and he is resting.

He will return on August 5 to start (training) together with his team-mates.'

The European champions are currently on tour in the United States and were beaten on penalties by Inter Milan in a friendly in California on Saturday after drawing 1-1 in normal time.
