Reports have emerged indicating that Angel Di Maria’s family has been threatened with death if the player decides to return to Rosario, Argentina
The winger, 36, departed his hometown of Rosario, Argentina, after featuring in 36 matches for Rosario Central in 2007, when he signed for Benfica.
Subsequently, he embarked on a successful career playing for renowned clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus.
Despite his status as an icon in Argentina, Angel Di Maria’s family has been subjected to a disturbing threat.
According to reports from Mdzol.com, a note was thrown at one of the entrances to the private neighborhood of Miraflores in Rosario.
What’s next for Di Maria?
The note, allegedly tossed from a grey car at 2:30 am, contained a chilling message: “Tell your son Angel not to return to Rosario again because otherwise we will screw him up by killing a family member.”
