Di Maria contract

Ángel Di María has extended his contract with Benfica until June 2025, marking his fifth season with the club. The 36-year-old winger expressed his happiness to remain with Benfica, stating he is 'hungry' for more titles after a second-place finish in the league last season. His decision to stay follows negotiations with Rosario Central in Argentina, which were complicated by threats to his family, leading him to prioritize his security. Di María, who has had a successful career including winning the World Cup and Copa America with Argentina, returned to Benfica in 2023 after stints at top clubs across Europe. The contract extension has been met with excitement among fans, although there are speculations that this may be his last year in professional football. His current market value is estimated at three million euros, reflecting his ongoing contributions on the field.
