Ángel Di María is set to become a free agent in the summer, and América de México is keen to sign him. The Argentine could bring experience and quality to André Jardine’s squad.

América de México is making a serious move to sign Ángel Di María, who will be available on a free transfer this summer once his contract with Benfica expires. Reports from Portugal and Mexico indicate that negotiations are already underway to bring the World Cup winner to the Liga MX giants.

The club’s new sponsorship deal with Adidas has strengthened its ambition to attract high-profile players, and Di María fits the bill. Despite being 37 years old, the Argentine continues to perform at a high level in European football, making him a valuable addition to André Jardine’s squad.

At present, América’s only natural winger in that position is Alejandro Zendejas, while Javairo Dilrosun has failed to meet expectations and could leave the club. Di María’s arrival would address this gap and significantly boost the team’s attacking options.

However, América must weigh the risks, as Di María’s fitness and injury history raise concerns. The physically demanding Liga MX could be a challenge for the veteran star. The club’s management will need to implement a strategy to keep him fit and ensure he remains a key asset throughout the season.
