Angel Di Maria

Angel Di Maria has always been underrated and under appreciated his whole career. During his time at Real Madrid, he had made a name for himself and the rest is history. Di Maria made the transition to the Premier League with Manchester United. However, it was a failure because of horrible coaching under Louis Van Gaal. Then he took his talents to France and he looked back. At Paris St Germain it seems that he has found a home in France and he has never looked back. Di Maria also plays on Argentina national team so he will have good chemistry with Messi.

Conclusion

It will be intriguing to see what happens and who Barcelona finds to fill Neymar role at the club. One thing is guaranteed that with €222M they will definitely reload the club with star power that is desperate needed moving forward towards the future.
