Real Madrid Transfer News: Angel Di Maria's PSG Move to Net Blancos £5.5M

Rory MarsdenAug 6, 2015

Angel Di Maria looks set to be the gift that keeps on giving for Real Madrid, as the La Liga outfit are reportedly set to receive a chunk of the transfer fee following the Argentine's imminent switch from Manchester United to Paris Saint-Germain.

Di Maria moved to United only last summer for an eye-watering £59.7 million after his man-of-the-match performance helped Real win the 2014 Champions League final against Atletico Madrid

Now, according to Spanish outlet Cadena COPE (h/t Tom Conn of Inside Spanish Football), the Madrid giants will receive eight percent of the final fee United receive from PSG, thanks to a well-placed clause in last summer's transfer agreement.

That could amount to €8 million (£5.5 million); the Ligue 1 champions are set to pay United €63 million (£44 million) to sign Di Maria.

The 27-year-old winger's switch to the Parc des Princes is reportedly imminent, per Spanish outlet AS:

It will signal the end to a highly unsatisfactory single-season stay for Di Maria at Old Trafford, during which he simply looked unable to cope in the Premier League.

He started incredibly well, but injuries, off-field problems and lack of game time saw him become a shadow of his former self, as he barely contributed in the second half of the 2014-15 season with the Red Devils.

He is set to be replaced by Barcelona's Pedro at United, who could perhaps be a better fit for United boss Louis van Gaal, per Bleacher Report's Andy Brassell:

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague confirms that the club and player have agreed terms, but United are yet to make a concrete offer to Barca:

The Manchester outfit look set to be hit with a loss on Di Maria after paying almost £60 million for him only a year ago.

Real will have few concerns about that. Indeed, they will no doubt be delighted that a player who contributed so much during his time at the Bernabeu, and made them a great deal of money in his transfer, is set to benefit them even further despite having departed the club.
