Angel di Maria, the 37-year-old winger who started his career at Rosario Central, is making a return to his boyhood club after a harrowing year marked by death threats that halted his earlier plans to rejoin. Initially, he faced threats against his family, including alarming messages that caused significant distress. Despite these challenges, Rosario Central welcomed him back, celebrating the continuation of their shared history. Di Maria is set to leave Benfica after next month’s Club World Cup, wrapping up his European career filled with numerous accolades.
Di Maria expressed that those months during the threats were horrifying, stating, 'We could only sit there and cry each night over not being able to carry out that dream return.'
