Presumebly if we're letting him go we must be confident about bringing in Pedro or someone else.

If di Maria goes, it has to be a world class player to take his place. Ronaldo or Bale.
No. It has to be a player who will score goals, assist and play for the shirt. Not sulk around.
What's the bet BeIN Sports Arabic's source is Le Equipe.
Wonder why Pep never showed any interest, considering their need for wingers this summer?
A question worth asking?

I dont know, Pedro?
bein ?
isn't that game over then.

Pedro... if Bale or Ronaldo ain't available.
Could have something to do that he would have cost them north of 50 millions for a player who performed to a world class level for about 6 months in his career?
That's not BeIN France, not the same info - the Barcelona match is being shown on BeIN in France so maybe they'll say something on there
lol he's still our player.
At least wait until the club annouce it before we start with the ridiculous U turns on how amazing a player like adm is.
pitty if he's gone, he probs just found it hard settling in manchester.
This might actually happen. Fecking hell I hope we have someone lined up to replace him.
Tom Coast seems more like a gossip monger than a journo.
€62m is an abysmal fee if true
To much smoke for it being a rumour. Im starting to believe he is a goner. Just hope that the people at the club have anticipated for this potential exit of Di Maria.
Well said.
Let the coward run off to France. He'll trounce the likes Caen and Angers most weeks and we'll be told "Look what he can do!".
The figure they are throwing around actually makes sense if the supposed 25% of the £59m fee we paid is based on appearances. 75% of £59m is £44.25m = €62.54m. So we're essentially getting our money back, if all the speculation is correct of course 
If one outlet posts something inaccurate and others tweet or retweet the same info then its still nothing. Not saying this won't happen but people need to stop hanging on every dodgy tweet.
Absolutely no doubt they will have. It's not really a shock to anyone, let alone those within the club you'd imagine.
Believe me mate, I am as anti-transfer muppet as they come. I usually tend to favour giving what we have a go instead of buying new players. I would be perfectly happy with trusting Jones, Smalling and even Evans the coming season and I would have no problem giving Januzaj, Pereira and Lingard a chance at the expense of buying anyone short of a Bale or Reus. I'm trying to say that it has nothing to do with wanting a shiny new toy every year but I understand why you would allude to this as this seems to be the attitude among plenty of our fans.
In the case of Di Maria though, I always felt it reeked of desperation for us to go as far as close to 60 millions for a player who only had 6 really top quality months. Add to that that I felt after the nightmarish season under Moyes, the reaction on here was like we never had a world class player ever. It was like a small club having more money than sense and is just desperate to show it can spend serious money for the sake of doing it. Maybe it was Ed's ego or he just felt the fans needed a lift after Moyes.
Anyway, the point of all this rambling is that we're talking about a player who cost 59 millions and only played like it for 6 months. The odds on him doing that again for us are not very high as fas as I am concerned purely because he's 27 years old and hasn't played to a high level at any point consistently in his career. Slashing our losses on him seems like the safer bet from our point of view.

Yes, minus AdM's wages last year, which were quite hefty.
If they have bid 120m for Ronaldo, surely we should be trying to get more of their oil money...
In fairness he is not forging a rumour, he is simply a mouthpiece of other outlets in regards to this rumour(s).
So spreading rumors. Probably just as bad then imo.
That would make more sense, but it sounds very stupid of Real to agree to such a structure and have something like this happen.The figure they are throwing around actually makes sense if the supposed 25% of the £59m fee we paid is based on appearances. 75% of £59m is £44.25m = €62.54m.

Well thats pretty much the sole reason for Sports Witness existence, although he doesn't seem to assess the sources objectively like the rest of them do.
Reading the RMC report, it says AdM still hasn't agreed terms with PSG and if they don't sign AdM they'll go after de Bruyne as Plan B
He can't read french.
Yep, which is extremely annoying when our resident twitter bots post it here. It basically winds up being rumors being spread by Coast and his ilk, then without checking, posters are reposting them here in their gleeful exuberance to break the latest news.
So many questions around this Di Maria (potential) exit
- When did the club realize he could be a goner ?
- Did United bank on his statement of him wanting to be a success here ?
- Did the club give Di Maria (and agent) a deadline ?
- When giving a deadline, did the club already plan for a successor ( one would argue ''ofcourse!'')
To many questions, guess everything will unfold within the next couple of days.

He claims to be half-french
The club have know everything all along, its whether any of the information will ever be released or even whether it's relevant once he's gone.
If we sold ADM for £45m and without getting Cavani then I have lost all respect for Woody/LVG with our transfer dealings when it comes to selling.
Why ? We don't need Cavani and we'd be breaking even on the AdM sale from last summer.
€13m euro loss isn't that bad all things considered, would've liked closer to £50m pounds(€70m) but probably unrealistic given the £/€, the season di maria had and the willingness on his part to leave. Just need to make sure we go out and use it now to address our problems, CB, and two forwards are required.
Possible, but he failed to translate properly LeParisien frontpage.
