Angel Di Maria could have joined a rare list of players who have played for both Madrid's "Real" and "Barcelona" teams in the summer of 2017. The former "Real" defender was strongly linked with a move to "Barca" in the summer of 2017. Negotiations had advanced significantly, but instead of the Argentine, Barcelona decided to purchase Ousmane Dembele. "At that time, I was happy in Paris, but certain people at the club were saying things that eventually turned out to be lies," Di Maria told "L'Equipe." "Barca tried to buy me. I know both clubs were negotiating, but in the end PSG refused to sell me. The lies that were told to me were a bit disheartening. However, when everything ended, I was ultimately happy to stay in Paris. Now I am happy to be a part of this team," added the Argentine. As Di Maria said, he hopes that PSG will be his last club in Europe. "I want to finish this stage of my career in Europe with PSG. It's unclear what will happen after that, but that is my plan," concluded the defender.
