The possible arrival of Ángel Di María at Internacional has been one of the most talked about topics in recent weeks.
According to information from the Argentine press, the Brazilian club would be planning to make an official proposal to sign the 36-year-old midfielder, who currently defends the colors of Benfica, Portugal.
Di María has a contract with Benfica until June this year and initially had the desire to return to Argentine football to wear the Rosario Central shirt.

However, the decision to return to his native country was called into question after his family suffered threats. This situation further complicated the definition of the player’s future, who now carefully evaluates his options.
The president of Internacional, Alessandro Barcellos, when questioned about the speculation involving Di María, stated that the club maintains a close eye on the player, as it does with other athletes who are close to the end of their contracts. However, he denied that the club is in advanced negotiations to sign the Argentine at this time.

In an interview with journalist André Hernán, Barcellos highlighted that the club is aware of Di María’s contractual situation, but did not confirm the negotiations.
On the other hand, the player’s agent, Lisandro Pirosanto, did not rule out Internacional’s interest in having Di María and revealed that the player’s future will be defined in the month of July.
