"I have loved the last three years in Paris where I have everything I need to play my best football" Di Maria said in a statement.

"Every day I feel honoured and motivated to be a part of such an ambitious project - unique in Europe. Along with my teammates, we have a lot more great things to achieve and we will continue to help PSG grow as a big club internationally," he added.
