Angel Di Maria enounces about Messi’s transfer

Angel Di Maria believes that Paris Saint-Germain signed Lionel Messi rather than Cristiano Ronaldo because Messi is "from another planet" compared to Ronaldo and even PSG colleagues Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. Di Maria, who joined PSG in 2015 following stints at Real Madrid, where he played alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, and Manchester United, has played with Messi for Argentina since the winger, 33, made his debut in 2008.

Messi joined PSG on a free transfer this week after his contract with Barcelona expired earlier this summer. Due to financial constraints, the LaLiga club was unable to sign a new contract for Messi under the league's rigorous pay limits. That means Sergio Aguero, Messi's close buddy who joined Barcelona from Manchester City earlier this summer, will miss out on playing with his international partner at club level.
