Angel Di Maria has put pen to paper on two-year contract extension running until 2021, Paris Saint-Germain announced on Wednesday evening.
Di Maria’s previous deal was due to expire at the end of the current campaign and there were suggestions the former Manchester United flop would seek a Premier League return.
The Argentina international has spent the last three years at the club but has struggled for regular playing time since Neymar and Kylian Mbappe joined in 2017.
New PSG manager Thomas Tuchel has tinkered with PSG’s formation this season and that has provided Di Maria with an extended run in the first team.
“I am very happy to have extended my contract with Paris Saint-Germain,” Di Maria told the club’s official website. “I have loved the last three years in Paris where I have everything I need to play my best football.
“Every day I feel honoured and motivated to be part of such an ambitious project- unique in Europe. Along with my teammates, we have a lot more great things to achieve and we will continue to help PSG grow as a big club internationally.
“The support of all those that love this club will help us go beyond our own limits and defend our colours with passion and determination. Together, we will experience more fantastic emotions and overcome numerous challenges. I am convinced that the best is still to come.”
The 30-year-old has featured in all 11 of PSG’s league matches this season and started 10 of them. In that time, Di Maria has scored three goals and provided six assists.
In fact, only AC Milan star Suso (7) has provided more assists than Di Maria in Europe’s top five leagues this season.
