Ángel Di Maria has signed a new deal with Benfica, keeping the Argentine legend at the club until June 2025. The 2022 World Cup winner is currently in 2nd stint with the Eagles, as they were the club which first brought him to Europe, spending €8 million for his services in the summer of 2007.

In other transfer news regarding the Portuguese club, David Neres’ agent is in Italy to negotiate with Napoli, working to advance talks on both the club and player sides. Neres is keen on the move, and Napoli has already sent an official offer in the region of €20 million to Benfica, though the Portuguese club has set a price of €25 million for the Brazilian winger.

Napoli could finalize the transfer sooner than expected, as the club is scheduled to meet with the player’s agent today. This move comes as Benfica is actively involved in multiple transfer deals, recently finalizing a double deal with PSG. João Neves moved to the French capital, while Renato Sanches went the opposite direction on a season-long loan.
