Reet, here goes... more or less,

'I wish it was confirmed'
Florentino signs Di Maria for €25 million.

Ángel di María didn't want to talk much at the end of the game against South Korea about signing for Real Madrid. sobre su fichaje por el Real Madrid. The Argenitine winger was happy with the 4-1 result and when asked about his new club he said "They haven't called to tell me anything new, but I really hope the Madrid move is confirmed".

MARCA exclusively revealed in today's edition that Real Madrid will pay around €25 million to Benfica for the transfer of Di Maria, the skillful Argentine international winger. His signing will be offically announced next week.

The presidents of both Real Madrid and Benfica closed the deal last night in Madrid. Despite the fact that at first the Lisbon club stuck to the €40 million buy-out clause, in the end an agreement was reached. Di Maria will get paid around €2 million under his new contract with Real Madrid.

Cheers for the translation mate. Has been linked with a host of European clubs for a while but surprised something going through during the World Cup, I hope he can live up to his potential if this move is true. Not always reliable MARCA is it
