Brazil national team captain and PSG defender Thiago Silva has opined that Angel Di Maria’s arrival from Manchester United will be a huge boost to the team and the now the team will definitely become more stronger than any other English club.
Angel Di Maria is due to have his medical at Doha on Monday, August 3rd and might join the Ligue 1 champions in the days to come.
As the Argentine leave the Premier League giants just after one season for £44.3 million Silva welcomed him with open arms.
Speaking to reporters Thiago Silva said: “I think that people now need to respect PSG as a club, and our position as one of the big clubs in Europe.
“Real Madrid and Barcelona are probably on another level, but after that if you are joining PSG it means you are probably taking a step up.”
PSG over the years have done pretty well in the UEFA Champions League. Since the money injection in 2012, the club have won back to Ligue 1 titles. They had reached the Champions League quarter final last season defeating Premier League champions Chelsea in the round of 16.
He further added: “We went further than any English clubs in Europe last year – even beating the English champions.
“Every season we keep our best players despite much interest, and always add the best players in Europe. How many clubs can say that? The vision our owners have for this club is very clear, and that is for PSG to be the best.”
