Argentinian world champion Angel Di Maria has signed up with Benfica, returning to a club with which he played when he arrived in Europe, the Portuguese club announced on its website on Wednesday July 5. Aged 35, the striker passed by Real Madrid, Manchester United, PSG and Juventus Turin, announced in early June that he was leaving the Italian club. Targeted by Saudi Arabia, he preferred to return to Benfica, where he played from 2007 to 2010. Di Maria is expected this Thursday, and supporters are invited to come and welcome him. The Portuguese club did not specify the duration of his commitment. A brilliant passer, scorer on big occasions and Lionel Messi’s best sidekick in the Argentine selection, Di Maria won the 2014 Champions League and the 2012 Spanish championship with Real Madrid. He was five times French champion with PSG between 2016 and 2022, and Portuguese champion in 2010 with Benfica. He will have spent only one season at Juve, where he arrived free after seven seasons in Paris.
