Striker Ángel Di Maria is in São Paulo’s sights. The news came on the same day that Tricolor Paulista won the Brazilian Super Cup, against Palmeiras, at Mineirão, last Sunday (4).
At the end of his contract with Benfica, from Portugal, the Argentine player has never hidden that he intends to return to playing in South American football, more specifically, at Rosario Central, from Argentina, the club that revealed him.
But São Paulo’s management welcomes a possible investment in the player. However, due to James Rodríguez’s situation at Tricolor, negotiations with the Argentine would, at first, be in the background.
All because São Paulo would need to resolve the situation of the Colombian, who asked not to be involved in the Super Cup decision. The fact caused strangeness and friction with the São Paulo board of directors.
As James has one of the highest salaries in the current São Paulo squad, Tricolor would need to agree a termination with the Colombian in order to make the move on Fideo Di Maria. The Argentine is 35 years old.
