Di Maria set for PSG medical
Print Edition
Manchester United’s Argentine winger Angel Di Maria is set to have a medical ahead of a proposed transfer to French champions Paris Saint-Germain a year after arriving at Old Trafford for a British record transfer fee, local media reported yesterday.
Di Maria joined United from Real Madrid for a fee of 59.7 million pounds (US$92.59 million) but, after an impressive start to his Reds career, struggled to display the form that made him one of the most feared attackers in Europe.
Di Maria scored or assisted in three of his first four United games but netted his final league goal in October and only started one match following its FA Cup quarterfinal defeat against Arsenal in March.
The 27-year-old did not join the club’s preseason tour of the United States following the Copa America and has been widely linked with a move to the big-spending French side.
British media reported the French side was preparing a transfer fee in the region of 44.5 million pounds. United was unavailable for comment.
PSG, meanwhile, claimed a third straight Trophy of Champions with a 2-0 win over Olympique Lyonnais at Montreal’s Stade Saputo on Saturday.
Full back Serge Aurier headed the first goal in the 11th minute and Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani scored from close range seven minutes later.
Lyon, runner-up to PSG in Ligue 1 last season, finished the game with 10 men after Maxime Gonalons was shown a second yellow card just after the hour.
PSG was without Argentines Javier Pastore and Ezequiel Lavezzi who have returned to the squad late following their involvement in the Copa America.
