Ángel Di María Agrees Move To Monaco

Sad, but it makes sense. According to 'Marca', Ángel Di María is about to leave the Santiago Bernabéu and sign for AS Monaco. The French club offers him a better contract and more minutes than what Carlo Ancelotti can give him after Gareth Bale's signing. Di María wants to be important in the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Monaco would pay 35M€ to get him.

Di María started the season great. In fact, he was one of Real Madrid's best players before Gareth Bale's recovery. But considering how well Bale is playing, Di María will surely have a minor role.

It would be great to have Di María on the bench, but his potential departure definitely makes sense. If that happens, expect Jesé to play more minutes.
