Paris Saint-Germain has completed its first major transfer window deal of the season, signing midfielder Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid for £45 million.
Di Maria, who is 27 years old and has played for Real Madrid since he joined as a teenager in 2011, will join Paris Saint-Germain on a four-year contract. He joins PSG after spending two seasons at Manchester United, where he made 99 appearances and scored seven goals.
The move is expected to strengthen PSG's midfield, which has been struggling with injuries this season. Di Maria is known for his ability to control possession, create chances, and provide support for the attack. His versatility and experience should make him a valuable addition to the squad.
PSG's chairman Nasser Al-Khelaifi said: "We are delighted to bring Angel Di Maria to our club. He is one of the best players in the world and we are confident that he will be a key player in our midfield."
Real Madrid, meanwhile, have lost their top attacking midfielder in the summer transfer window. The Spanish giants were forced to sell Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus for £88 million earlier this month, despite having offered him a new five-year contract.
Di Maria's move to PSG follows several other significant transfers in the summer transfer window, including the sale of Lionel Messi to Barcelona and the loan of Kylian Mbappe to Manchester City. These moves have helped to reshape the league landscape and create excitement among fans and media alike.
