Ángel Di María chose to return home in this transfer market. After finishing his contract with PSG, the Argentine footballer decided to sign for Benfica, the team in which he made the great leap to European football in 2007.

The ‘noodle’ had several offers, among them a proposal for Saudi Arabia, but decided to continue competing highest level in Europe.

The versatile ‘albiceleste’ player has had a very good start with Benfica, winning the Portuguese Super Cup title where he was precisely one of the scorers.

After his first matches with the ‘Portuguese’ team, say mary spoke to ‘DSPORTS Radio’ to explain his decision to return to Benfica.

“I had many conversations, the numbers they handle are incredible… But I made my sincere choice with my heart. I wanted my family to continue to be happy in Europe and not go to a place where I might not have a good time”, explained the Argentine player.

Thus, Di María added that “one sees all those things that come out: that the money and that they give you life… But I know on the other hand that living there is not easy at all. I have close people who told me. A capable one is winning what he could have won in five races, but no. I did speak out of respect to the people of Arabia, but it stayed there.”

This way, say mary has been one of the players who have not fallen into the temptation of saudi arabia money and has decided with his heart in his football career.
