The 36-year-old forward is nearing the end of his contract in his second stint with Portuguese giants Benfica. This summer, he will become a free agent and plans to return to his roots in Argentina, revisiting the club where his career began.
According to A Bola, Di Maria will sign a six-month contract with Rosario Central, his first club. After spending the rest of the year in Argentina, the veteran winger will then head north to join his legendary compatriot Messi at Inter Miami.
It’s reported that Di Maria’s wife and children will move to Florida this summer to settle in with close friends, anticipating a family reunion in January 2025. Inter Miami, one of MLS’s most ambitious teams, will then add another contemporary football great to their roster.
Messi, who achieved global success alongside Di Maria at the 2022 World Cup and will be vying for another Copa America title in June, is under contract with Inter Miami until 2025. He might extend his stay by an additional year, but the Herons are expected to be the final club in Di Maria’s illustrious career.
