Argentine Ángel Di Maria is one of the most coveted names in the football market. Currently at Benfica, in Portugal, he only has a contract until the end of the European season, therefore, he is free and can sign with any club. Along these lines, as he is an internationally renowned star, he is speculated on in many teams, including Brazilian ones. Among them, Flamengo is one of the main interested parties, but it should not be this time that the player will defend a Brazilian, but the destination could be South America.
In recent months, Ángel Di María revealed the his wish for the final stretch of his career, which is to play a Copa Libertadores for Rosário Central again. He stated this in an exclusive interview with the TyC Sports channel. However, even with a verbal agreement with the Argentine club, he received threats and, as a result, may give up on the idea of returning to his country. On the other hand, the renowned Argentine journalist, Hernán Castillo, brought updates and reported that the player can still go to Argentina, but not Rosario, but River Plate, which promises to enter the fight strongly.
This way, he has an offer from the giant in his hand, the desire to play for his favorite club, but the fear of the threat. At the same time, clubs from Brazil and even Europe, like Benfica itself, are interested. No matter what the destination, Di Maria needs to make a decision in the coming weeks, as the European season ends in about a month, when his contract with the Portuguese team ends.
At 36 years old, Di María was on the field 46 times this season for Benfica, with 16 goals and 13 assists. He is one of the stars of the club that is seeking the Portuguese Championship title, with 16 direct participation in goals in the 2023/24 season.
On his resume, the Argentine has the World Cup, Copa América, Finalíssima, Supercopa , Champions League, Portuguese Championship, French Championship, Spanish Championship, Olympics, among others. And speaking of the World Cup and Copa América, he was one of the main names alongside Lionel Messi, putting Argentina back on the path to victory.
There are 35 football titles, with only the Libertadores missing among the major competitions that already competed in his career. Your current contract is valid until the end of the European season, so it is now possible to sign a pre-contract with any club in the world, playing in July.

Flamengo's board was tough and objective this Friday afternoon. That's because the Rio de Janeiro red-and-black team fined and removed Gabigol's number 10 shirt. Therefore, the player vented on social media about the club's decision. The punishment was due to the leaked photo of the athlete wearing the Corinthians shirt.
The attacker explained that he accepts the decision and respects Flamengo's command, but also stated that the episode will not erase his history with the Rubro-Negro.
"On that 11/12, 2022, after having felt the greatest emotions of my life with the glories and significant achievements for Flamengo, the club presented me with a very special shirt, number 10, simply the mantle worn by our greatest idol, Zico.
I confess that I felt a certain insecurity, because along with that shirt, came a great weight of responsibility.
At Flamengo, I found the best version of myself and I'm experiencing the best cycle of my career. I'm fascinated by titles and I've always expressed that on the website. excessive will on the field, which is often misinterpreted.
Flamengo allowed me to win many titles (2 Libertadores, 2 Brasileiros, 1 Copa do Brasil, 1 Recopa Sudamericana, 2 Supercups of Brazil and 4 Cariocas) and live these magical moments with the nation and be welcomed by the biggest fans in America, that is the true meaning of the word happiness.
In these more than 5 years of joy, and some sadness, I have always been certain, that of my love for this club, that of the love for the red-and-black nation.
Today I was informed by Flamengo's directors that I will no longer wear size 10. It's up to me to accept and respect the club's command. But this will never erase the history I built with my teammates. I accept the next shirt and I will give my life on the field for Mengao until the end of our story.
I love you, Flamengo!"

In a meeting at Ninho do Urubu this Friday, Flamengo defined the punishment for Gabigoldue to the photo with the Corinthians shirt. In addition to being fined 10% of his salary, the attacker will no longer be able to wear the legendary number 10. The punishments, however, stop there. The player will normally be part of the delegation that will travel to Manaus next week.
The information is from Mauro Cezar Pereira. According to the journalist, Gabigol is not away from the cast and will continue working alongside the main group. Next Wednesday, the 22nd, Flamengo will face Amazonas, at the Arena da Amazônia, and the striker will normally travel to the Copa do Brasil game.
In the understanding of the red-black board, removing Gabigol from the long trip to Manaus would be a kind of reward for the player. During the meeting, Marcos Braz only communicated the punishments and there was no discussion with the player. In Flamengo's view, if the photo was false, as Gabriel claimed, it should have been presented.
In addition to Gabriel Barbosa, the punishment also extended to supervisor Márcio Santos, better known as Marcinho. The professional appears in the controversial photo behind Gabigol. According to Mauro Cezar Pereira, Flamengo will warn the supervisor due to his supervisory role. Due to his position, Márcio should be the person who, in the board's opinion, could warn and reprimand Gabriel on that occasion.
Mais Querido seems willing to make a big investment in the player, to convince him to come to Brazil

Weeks ago, there was news indicating that Di María interests Flamengo. The star only has a contract with Benfica (POR) until June this year and his future is uncertain. Mais Querido has a philosophy of making investments to bring players with status, paying salaries and millionaire gloves. It was in this sense that Mengão sought to find out about the Argentine, according to the BolaVIP portal.
Still according to the organization, to play in South America, especially in Brazil, people close to the star understand that he needs to be convinced financially and also with a high-level sporting project. Di María receives around R$4.3 million at Benfica, that is, something far beyond the reality of any Brazilian and even South American club. Flamengo's board does not do this for any player .
The striker knows that the reality in Europe is different and there are those who guarantee that the player would accept to play for a big club in South America with a proposal of R$ 2 million per month. The Rio club has financial capacity to pay these amounts, given that it has an annual turnover of an incredible R$ 1.3 billion and Di María would bring impressive media, as well as market value.
Despite already being a A veteran, the Argentine is well above average, takes good care of his physical aspects and rarely suffers serious injuries. He is a player who can change the status of any team. Flamengo, in turn, expects a more concrete position from the player's staff. If Benfica's departure is confirmed and there is any chance of signing him, Mengo will certainly try the player.
DI MARÍA ARRIVING AND GABIGOL LEAVINGDue to a ruling by the Court of Sports Justice, Gabigol was suspended for 2 years for allegedly trying to cheat the anti-doping test. The date of punishment becomes valid from the day of the incident and not from the trial. Therefore, Flamengo's number 10 must be out until April 2025.
