#9 LW - Angel Di Maria (Paris Saint-Germain)
Alongside Lionel Messi, on the international stage, the player has experienced enough heartbreaks for two lifetimes, but Angel Di Maria's exalted status as a distinguished South American winger remains untouched.
After his Manchester United career went South, it would have been easy to write him off, but the Argentine quickly reestablished himself at the Parc des Princes, becoming a cog in PSG's wheel of domestic triumph.
In an interview with TYC Sports, the former Real Madrid man confirmed he was close to joining Barcelona last year but the move failed to materialize.
Angel Di Maria is a player PSG will be willing to keep beyond 2019, and his case is more about contract renewal and improved wage packages than it is about expired deals and free transfers.
