Laurent Blanc confirmed on Sunday that Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing the Argentina international given that UEFA have lifted financial fair play restrictions on the French champions, though the PSG boss admits a deal will be tough due to other suitors and the sheer cost of the transfer.
The Guardian reports that PSG have readied an offer of ￡47 million, and will make a formal offer to United and Di Maria's agent Jorge Mendes.
The 27-year-old is expected to want a tasty contract of around ￡185,000 a week at the Parc des Princes, though the Ligue 1 title winners are hoping for a package closer to ￡130,000 a week. In any case, the paper reports "a compromise is likely to be attainable."
Fabian Delph had his ￡8 million release clause activated by City, but the Aston Villa midfielder turned down a move to Manchester earlier this week.
The Mirror reports that Villa teammates Micah Richards and Scott Sinclair -- both former England hopefuls who saw their careers stall at City -- played a "crucial role" in convincing Delph that his career will be better served by staying at Villa Park.
City have seen James Milner leave this summer for more opportunities at Liverpool, and it seems that more England players are now cottoning on to the fact that sitting on City's bench on a massive contract week in, week out may not be the best way to make Roy Hodgson sit up and take notice.
