This summer, world champion Angel Di Maria had a lot to think about.

Becoming a free agent, the Argentinian, despite being 35 years old, received numerous offers.

According to the winger, he was also tempted by teams from the Middle East.

"I received numerous calls from Saudi Arabia. Their offers were of incredible value, but I listened to my heart and arrived at the 'Benfica' team in Lisbon," said A. Di Maria.

It was in this Portuguese club at the beginning of his career that the player shone brightest and in 2010 received an invitation to the 'Real' team in Madrid.

In the recent Portugal championship, the veteran has already scored 1 goal in 2 matches.
