Angel Di Maria is Lionel Messi‘s partner in crime. After playing a crucial role in the Argentine skipper’s international success, fans dreamt about the possibility of a similar partnership in the MLS. Recent talks suggested David Beckham’s club was eyeing a probable chance to sign Di Maria. However, after Tata Martino’s recent comments about the situation, the latest reports seem to rest any such expectations.

Despite being in the last stages of his career, Di Maria is attracting attention from top clubs. According to Turkish journalist Murat Özen, the Benfica midfielder’s agent had a meeting with Turkish giants Besiktas. Reports also add weight to his move to Turkey, as the agent was curious about the team and Istanbul as a city. The 16-time Turkish Champions feel that the Argentine could fill their midfield spot perfectly.

Meanwhile, the 36-year-old has been in decent form this season, with 16 goals and 15 assists for Benfica in all competitions. The Portuguese club missed out on the league trophy to Sporting Lisbon and will look for fresh legs in the next one. Earlier, Di Maria chose to come back to his first European club on a one-year contract despite receiving heavy offers from the Saudi clubs. Fideo’s contract will expire this summer. But with earlier talks revealing Benfica’s intent to extend another year, the club where he would land is still uncertain.

On the other hand, reports of Di Maria and Lionel Messi playing together are another cause of joy for soccer fans. But in club soccer, the fans will have to come to peace that it has already happened at PSG, and chances of a repetition look bleak.

Lionel Messi’s incredible journey with Angel Di Maria could end soon

Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria had a dream journey together. They have played 127 games together and won the Copa America, World Cup and an Olympic gold. Di Maria has been the most crucial player for Argentina’s success, being a goal scorer in all the finals. Additionally, they won the Ligue Un in the 2021-22 season. Nevertheless, Tata Martino stated that he wasn’t aware of any talks with the midfielder, saying, “Today it would not be feasible to hire any type of player, especially regarding the conditions that could come.”  

Moreover, Di Maria has announced his retirement from international soccer after the upcoming Copa America, making it potentially his last competition with Lionel Messi. With such an intense few months coming up, will Copa America end this incredible journey of the legends? Let us know in the comments.
