Angel Di Maria is on his way to Paris Saint Germain in a £50m move - clearing the way for James Rodriguez to join Real Madrid.

Argentinian World Cup star Di Maria is being sold after a contract dispute with the Spanish giants and PSG's huge financial clout means they will meet the fee and pay him around £200,000-a-week.

That now frees up Real Madrid to go for Monaco's Colombian World Cup star Rodriguez who established himself as one of the best players in the world in Brazil.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti did not want to sell Di Maria but president Florentino Perez insisted they moved him on after he refused to sign a new deal.

Di Maria was hawked around Europe and his advisers believe Manchester United will go for Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal rather than express an interest in Di Maria who also wanted Champions League football.
