Following Rosario Central’s exit from the Copa Libertadores, Argentine World Cup winner Angel Di María has signaled uncertainty regarding his future in professional football. Speaking at a post-match press conference, the 38-year-old winger confirmed his desire to continue playing, whilst acknowledging that he needs to carefully consider his options before deciding his next step.
Despite his advancing years, Di María continues to demonstrate the quality and physical sharpness expected at the elite level. His latest remarks have reignited media speculation linking him with Major League Soccer (MLS) side Inter Miami, where he could potentially join long-time international teammate Lionel Messi rather than opting for retirement.
According to reports from international sports outlets, including Goal.com, Inter Miami have made multiple attempts to sign the veteran winger in previous transfer windows. While those earlier negotiations failed to materialise into a deal, fresh reports suggest the American club could renew their pursuit ahead of the 2027 MLS campaign.
The partnership between Messi and Di María stands as one of the most decorated in modern international football. Together, the pair have guided Argentina to five major international honours, building a formidable record on the global stage.
Their shared international success began at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, where they secured gold for Argentina. Thirteen years later, Di María scored the winning goal against Brazil in the 2021 Copa América final at the Maracanã Stadium, ending a 28-year major trophy drought for his country. The duo subsequently led Argentina to victory in the 2022 Finalissima against Italy, followed by their crowning achievement at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. In that final against France, Messi scored twice while Di María added another to end a 36-year wait for the World Cup trophy. Their international partnership reached a fitting climax with a second consecutive Copa América title in 2024.
Whether Di María chooses to conclude his career in Argentina or move to Florida to share the pitch with Messi once more remains to be seen. Football supporters around the world will be watching closely as his decision unfolds.
