Paris Saint-Germain's Angel Di Maria is one of the most gifted attackers of his generation. The Argentina international has played for five different clubs since making his professional debut in 2005. He has previously played for European giants like Real Madrid and Manchester United.
The 34-year-old attacker has played over 600 professional games in all competitions so far, scoring over 150 goals. He won the 'Olimpia de Plata' (outstanding performer in sports) in 2014 and was also included in the 'ESM Team of the Year' (European Sports Media Team) on two different occasions.
Di Maria's current contract at PSG is set to expire on July 1. The club have confirmed (reported via the Hindu) that the attacker will leave PSG.

On that note, here's a list of three potential destinations for Di Maria.
#3 Juventus
Juventus struggled in Serie A last season, finishing fourth in the league table. The Turin-based club accumulated 70 points in 38 league games, their lowest since the 2010-11 season.
Manager Massimiliano Allegri will look to bolster his squad during the upcoming summer transfer window. According to Goal, Juve are in talks with the 34-year old attacker to bring him to the Allianz Stadium.
Di Maria is a technical player who is quick, agile and possesses slick dribbling skills. The Italian club are in dire need of attackers for next season. They are set to lose Paulo Dybala on a free transfer, who has garnered Inter Milan's interest (they have submitted an official proposal to the player) as per Fabrizio Romano.
Atletico Madrid loanee Alvaro Morata will also head back to his parent club, while Federico Chiesa is still working on his fitness after suffering an ACL injury in January.
#2 Barcelona
According to Relevo (via Barcelona Universal), Barcelona are in talks to sign Di Maria.
The Blaugrana are in the transfer market for a new winger as they prepare to lose Ousmane Dembele as a free agent. Leeds United's Raphinha is their top target to replace Dembele but the deal is complicated due to Barca's financial situation.
Signing a player of Di Maria's pedigree for free will be a massive boost for them ahead of next season. The Argentina international is a versatile player who is capable of playing in various positions across the forward line and midfield.
The 34-year-old played 26 games in the league last season, scoring five and assisting seven goals. According to WhoScored, Di Maria averaged two shots, 2.1 key passes and 1.2 dribbles per 90 in Ligue 1 last term.
#1 Rosario Central
Speaking to TyC Sports(via 90min) after Argentina's 5-0 victory against Estonia, Di Maria expressed his desire to return to his boyhood club Rosaria Central.
He said:
"A return to Rosario Central crosses my mind, it's something I've always said I want to do. I didn't play a lot there, I didn't get the chance to enjoy it and give my all."
Di Maria joined Rosario's youth academy aged four in 1992. He worked through the club's youth levels to make his professional debut for the club during the 2005-06 season.
The 34-year old played 35 league games during his time at Estadio Gigante de Arroyito, scoring six goals. He left the club to join Benfica during the summer transfer window of 2007.
