Portuguese media link a Liga MX giant with Ángel Di María

Club América of Mexico has sparked transfer market rumors by showing interest in Ángel Di María, whose contract with Benfica expires on June 30. The possibility of the Argentine World Cup champion joining the azulcrema club has generated great expectations, as his signing would be a media and sporting coup for Liga MX.

According to Infobae, Club América is exploring options to make the deal feasible, with the possibility of having Adidas support to finance part of the player's salary. Such agreements are not unusual in international football, but it would set a precedent in the Mexican league, which seeks to continue attracting world-class figures.

The capital club has maintained a low profile in the current transfer market, but the recent arrivals of players like Sergio Ramos and James Rodríguez to Monterrey and León respectively have increased the pressure to add high-profile reinforcements. Di María, with experience in clubs like Real Madrid, PSG, and Manchester United, could bring leadership and hierarchy to a team looking to continue dominating the tournament.

Despite the interest, the player himself has repeatedly expressed his desire to continue in Europe for at least one more season. Additionally, although he has always expressed his intention to return to the club where he started, Rosario Central, security concerns in his hometown have complicated that scenario. With his future up in the air, Liga MX dreams of adding another star to its competition.
