The January transfer market has already opened, which means that any player whose contract ends in the summer of 2024 is now free to agree to his arrival at any club in the world as a free agent. One of the most sought-after in this context will be the Argentine from Benfica, Ángel di María, who signed for only one year with the Portuguese team.

At 35 years old and with an enviable track record behind him, the man from Rosario could be ready to face a triumphant return to South American football, where he had few opportunities to shine due to his premature departure for the old continent, and there will be no shortage of suitors.

Grêmio and Rosario Central compete for Di María’s return to the American continent

According to the Argentine media TyC Sports, Grêmio and Rosario Central would be very interested in finalizing the arrival of “Angelito” in July 2024, the date on which his relationship with Benfica will end.

According to this source, the Brazilian team would aim to take the lead in the operation, since they would have initiated formal contacts with the footballer and his agent, who would have confirmed said interest.

Leandro Pirosanto, the representative of the Argentine star, recently commented that despite Grêmio’s specific interest in Di María, the negotiations aim to be complicated and that nothing has progressed.

However, the “insider” of the transfer market, Ekrem Konur, assures that Grêmio could prepare an offensive to try to finalize the arrival of Ángel Di María by offering him a juicy two-year contract.

Of course, from Argentina they advance that Rosario Central could also intensify the conversations to recover the footballer trained in its youth categories, thus concretizing his triumphant return to the rogue team.
