The French champions' assistant sporting director held negotiations with Ed Woodward on Monday but they could not agree on the winger's valuation Angel di Maria’s move to Paris Saint-Germain edged closer when officials of the French club flew to London for talks with Manchester United.
PSG assistant sporting director Olivier Legant was in London on Monday for negotiations with United’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward, who arrived back from the club’s tour of America at the weekend.
The meeting ended without an agreement, and the two clubs at odds over the Argentinian winger’s valuation.
But, further encouraged by United’s refusal to rule out a sale, PSG’s confidence that they will eventually get their man is growing.
United broke the British transfer record to sign Di Maria, 27, for £59.7million from Real Madrid last summer.
And they want to recoup as much as they can if they do sell Di Maria and put the money towards an ambitious attempt to land Thomas Muller from Bayern Munich.
French champions PSG believe Di Maria’s valuation has dropped significantly in the past 12 months and have indicated they are prepared to pay £40m.
Talks are continuing between the clubs over a deal that could end Di Maria’s time in England after just one season.
United boss Louis Van Gaal is prepared to let Di Maria leave if he wants to quit after a difficult first year in England.
He made a flying start to his Man United career but his form quickly started to dip and Di Maria ended the season on the bench. The player and his family were also unsettled by an attempted burglary at his Cheshire home.
Woodward rejoins United’s tour on Thursday.
