OFFICIAL: World Cup champion Ángel Di Maria is now officially available as free agent. El Fideo leaves Juventus with immediate effect.
Benfica are dreaming of Di Maria’s return but there are several options available, no decision yet. Open race.
Angel Di Maria will continue his career in Europe. He has options from two different leagues and it is expected that in the next days he will already have a concrete offer.
“I have come to the end of a difficult and complicated period,” wrote Di Maria on Instagram.
“I leave safe in the knowledge I gave my all for the club to continue winning titles, but it was not possible. I leave with a bitter taste at not having succeeded, but with the joy of bringing with me many friends in this marvellous locker room that I was part of.
“Thank you to all my teammates for the affection they showed me from the first day, I always felt at home. I salute all the Juventini for their daily affection.
“A big hug. I will carry you in my heart.”
The 35-year-old Argentina international arrived as a free agent from Paris Saint-Germain last summer on a one-year contract and now leaves in similar circumstances.
It had been expected in recent weeks, with neither the club or the forward particularly eager to continue their time together.
El Fideo made 40 competitive appearances in the Juventus jersey, scoring eight goals and providing seven assists.
However, he was jeered off the field by home fans in his final game at the Allianz Juventus Stadium in Turin.
The season was split by the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which saw Argentina win the ultimate football trophy and inevitably monopolise most of Di Maria’s attention, especially in the build-up to the competition.
He also had numerous injury problems, but his highlight was the hat-trick in the Europa League play-off against FC Nantes.

Angel Di Maria: "After Mbappe scored his goals, I saw the world collapsing in front of me, and when I spoke to my colleagues on the bench I knew we were going to lose the cup, but when I remembered that when I score in the final match I never lose, I said, 'We won't lose'". "Except Messi, all players are equal for Scaloni, and every player can play based on what the coach sees, not based on names. From day one, all the players wanted Messi to win the cup".

🗣 Di Maria: “It was a dream to have the possibility to play with Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo, and Messi. "They were players that I used on the PlayStation and I would never have imagined I'd get to play with them. "But Leo is the best of the four!"
