The 26-year-old has been strongly linked with a move away from Real Madrid as the La Liga giants prepare a move for Colombia star James Rodriguez, with Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain reported to be willing to break the bank to secure his signature.
Speculation has been emanting for weeks about the Argentina winger's future and some reports even suggested he had already agreed personal terms with the Red Devils, with a contract worth £150,000-a-week on offer.
Di Maria, who is set to miss the World Cup final through injury, was initially keen on a move to Old Trafford but appears to have performed a U-turn, with The Mirror claiming he will refuse to join Louis van Gaal's side as they are not in the Champions League next season.
PSG could now follow up their interest for the winger, with Real Madrid prepared to accept an offer of £40 million for the former Benfica midfielder.
