What Is Ángel Di María's Net Worth and Salary?

Ángel Di María is an Argentine professional soccer player who has a net worth of $60 million.

Ángel Di María has spent much of his career playing for some of the richest and most successful clubs in world soccer. After beginning his professional career with Rosario Central, he moved to Benfica, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and then back to Benfica before completing a long-awaited return to Rosario Central in 2025. His club career has included a UEFA Champions League title with Real Madrid, five Ligue 1 championships with PSG, and domestic trophies in Spain, France, Portugal, and Argentina.

Di María is also one of the most accomplished players in the history of the Argentina national team. He scored the winning goal in the 2021 Copa América final, scored again in the 2022 World Cup final, and helped Argentina win a second consecutive Copa América in 2024 before retiring from international soccer. He finished his senior international career with 145 appearances and 31 goals.

Di María earned some of the largest salaries in European soccer during his years with Manchester United and PSG. He was reportedly paid around £250,000 to £280,000 per week during his one season at Manchester United, while his compensation during several seasons at PSG reached well into eight figures annually. His current Rosario Central contract runs through June 2027, although its financial terms have not been publicly disclosed.

Early Life

Ángel Fabián Di María was born on February 14, 1988, in Rosario, Argentina. He is one of three children born to Diana Hernández and Miguel Di María. His sisters are Vanesa and Evelyn.

Di María grew up in the working-class neighborhood of Perdriel and was exceptionally energetic as a young child. On a doctor's recommendation, his parents enrolled him in soccer when he was three years old. At four, he joined Rosario Central, the club that would eventually launch his professional career.

His family had limited financial resources, and Di María worked alongside his father at a local coal yard while developing as a soccer player. Rosario Central eventually promoted him through its youth system, and he made his first-team debut in 2005.

Salary and Career Earnings

Di María's salary rose dramatically as his career progressed through Europe's biggest leagues. By the time he joined Manchester United in 2014, reports placed his salary at roughly £250,000 to £280,000 per week. At £250,000 per week, that was equivalent to £13 million over a full year before bonuses.

His seven seasons with Paris Saint-Germain were especially lucrative. Salary estimates for his PSG years ranged from roughly $9 million annually early in his tenure to more than $15 million in several later seasons. He continued earning multimillion-dollar salaries with Juventus and during his second stint at Benfica.

In addition to club wages, Di María has earned money through performance bonuses, tournament prizes, image rights, and endorsement deals. His longtime sponsors have included Adidas.

Di María returned to Rosario Central in 2025 on a dramatically smaller salary than he commanded during his peak European years. In June 2026, he signed a one-year extension keeping him with the club through June 2027.

Rosario Central and Benfica

Di María made 39 first-team appearances for Rosario Central before leaving Argentina in 2007. Portuguese powerhouse Benfica acquired him while he was still a teenager, beginning the European portion of his career.

After gradually establishing himself in Portugal, Di María enjoyed a breakout 2009-10 season. He led the Primeira Liga in assists and helped Benfica win the league championship and Portuguese League Cup.

His performances attracted interest from Europe's largest clubs, and Real Madrid acquired him in 2010.

Real Madrid

Di María joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2010 and became an important part of a star-studded team that included Cristiano Ronaldo. He helped Madrid win the Copa del Rey in his first season and the La Liga championship in 2011-12.

His finest season with Real Madrid came in 2013-14. Manager Carlo Ancelotti moved Di María into a deeper midfield role, where his speed, passing, dribbling, and work rate became crucial to the team.

Real Madrid defeated Barcelona to win the 2014 Copa del Rey and then reached the UEFA Champions League final against Atlético Madrid. Di María was named Man of the Match in the final as Real won 4-1 after extra time, securing the club's long-awaited 10th European Cup, known as "La Décima."

He finished his Real Madrid career with six trophies and 85 assists in 190 appearances.

Manchester United

Manchester United purchased Di María from Real Madrid in August 2014 for £59.7 million. At the time, it was the largest transfer fee ever paid by a British club.

He was given Manchester United's famous #7 shirt and initially appeared poised to become one of the Premier League's biggest stars. Di María won the club's Player of the Month award in September and played alongside stars including Wayne Rooney.

His form declined as the season progressed, however, and injuries and difficulties adapting to manager Louis van Gaal's system contributed to an unhappy year in England. His family's home was also targeted in an attempted burglary while they were inside, an incident that reportedly had a significant effect on them.

Di María left after a single season.

Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain acquired Di María from Manchester United in 2015. The move proved to be one of the most successful periods of his career.

In his first Ligue 1 season, Di María recorded 18 assists, setting a league record that remains one of his signature achievements. He helped PSG win a domestic quadruple consisting of Ligue 1, the Coupe de France, Coupe de la Ligue, and Trophée des Champions.

Over seven seasons in Paris, Di María played alongside stars including Zlatan Ibrahimović, Neymar, Kylian Mbappé, and later his Argentina teammate Lionel Messi.

Di María won five Ligue 1 championships, five Coupe de France titles, four Coupe de la Ligue titles, and multiple Trophée des Champions trophies with PSG. He also helped the club reach its first UEFA Champions League final in 2020.

He finished his PSG career with 92 goals and 119 assists in 295 appearances. His creativity established him as one of the most productive attacking players in club history.

Juventus

Di María left PSG when his contract expired in 2022 and signed a one-year deal with Italian powerhouse Juventus.

His season in Turin was disrupted by injuries and suspensions, but he still produced memorable performances. In February 2023, he scored a hat-trick against Nantes in the UEFA Europa League.

Di María finished the season with eight goals and seven assists in all competitions before leaving Juventus when his contract expired.

Return to Benfica

Di María returned to Benfica in 2023, 13 years after leaving the Portuguese club for Real Madrid. He immediately added another trophy by helping Benfica win the 2023 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira.

He remained with the club for two seasons and helped Benfica win the 2024-25 Portuguese League Cup. Across his two separate Benfica spells, Di María played 217 matches, scored 51 goals, and won five trophies.

His final appearances for Benfica came at the expanded 2025 FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. Despite being 37 years old, Di María scored four goals in four matches, tying for the tournament's highest goal total. His final Benfica goal came against Chelsea in the round of 16.

Return to Rosario Central

Following the Club World Cup, Di María returned to Rosario Central in 2025, nearly two decades after leaving his hometown club for Europe.

One of the defining moments of his homecoming came in August 2025 against Rosario Central's fierce rival Newell's Old Boys. With the match scoreless late in the second half, Di María scored a spectacular long-range free kick to give Central a 1-0 victory in the Rosario derby.

Rosario Central finished 2025 with the best aggregate record across Argentina's Apertura and Clausura competitions, earning 66 points. In November, the Argentine Football Association created an annual league championship for the team finishing first in the aggregate table and officially named Rosario Central the 2025 Liga champion. It was Di María's first senior club trophy in Argentina.

He remained a central figure for the club in 2026. Rosario Central reached the semifinals of the 2026 Apertura and advanced from the group stage of the Copa Libertadores before losing 1-0 on aggregate to Corinthians in the round of 16. Di María scored twice during the Libertadores group stage.

In June 2026, the 38-year-old extended his Rosario Central contract through June 2027.

Argentina National Team

Di María began representing Argentina internationally at the youth level. In 2007, he helped Argentina win the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada.

The following year, he played for Argentina at the Beijing Olympics. Di María scored the only goal in the gold-medal match against Nigeria, giving Argentina its second consecutive Olympic men's soccer championship.

He made his senior international debut in 2008 and played in four FIFA World Cups. Argentina reached the 2014 World Cup final, although an injury prevented Di María from playing in the championship match against Germany.

His international career entered its greatest period more than a decade after his debut. In the 2021 Copa América final against Brazil at the Maracanã Stadium, Di María scored the game's only goal, ending Argentina's 28-year wait for a major senior international trophy.

He scored again in Argentina's 3-0 victory over Italy in the 2022 Finalissima and played a starring role in the 2022 FIFA World Cup final against France. Di María won the penalty that produced Argentina's opening goal and then scored the team's second goal in a match Argentina ultimately won on penalties.

In 2024, Argentina defeated Colombia to win another Copa América. The final was Di María's last international appearance. He retired with 145 senior caps, 31 goals, two Copa América titles, a World Cup championship, and a Finalissima title in addition to his Olympic gold medal and U-20 World Cup championship.

Personal Life

Di María married Jorgelina Cardoso in 2011. They have two daughters, Mia and Pia.

Their eldest daughter, Mia, was born prematurely in 2013 and spent several months in intensive care before eventually being able to go home.

Di María's family has also endured several frightening security incidents connected to his career. In early 2015, burglars attempted to enter the family's home near Manchester while Di María, his wife, and daughter were inside. In 2021, during his time with PSG, his home was burglarized while members of his family were present.
