Di Maria’s Agent Hits Back At Real

By -
Angel Di Maria’s agent, Eugenio Lopez, has hit back at Real Madrid and revealed his client didn’t want to leave Los Blancos.
Lopez claims Real didn’t stick to their salary promises for Di Maria and he would have been prepared to stay for a lower salary than Manchester United offered him.
"Di María signed for Manchester United with a net salary of €8 million. He would have stayed at Real for much less,” Di Maria’s agent told radio station COPE.
"Ángel wanted to stay. The difference was €1 million per year. Real began the negotiations but did not want them to advance.
“There was no offer from Madrid before the World Cup. The plan was to negotiate after the tournament and the intention was always for Di María to stay in Madrid.
“Ángel simply wanted to earn what was promised to him and would have been prepared to stay for less than his salary in England.”
Lopez explains Di Maria always felt ‘not wanted’ after Real didn’t stick to salary promises, but Carlo Ancelotti didn’t want the Argentine to leave.
"When he joined Real he accepted a lower salary than the one agreed. Then he was promised an improved contract after six months, but they took two years to do it.”
“He (Ancelotti) did everything in his powers to ensure that Di María remained at the club.”
In the end, it was a club decision to sell Di Maria to balance the club’s books and he joined Manchester United for an English transfer record fee of £59.7 million.

DOYIN ADEOYE assesses the origin of this cultural trait, its effects on individuals and reactions from the public. Although tribal marks are becoming extinct because of the extant laws that forbid parents or anyone from marking a child’s face, tribal marks in the olden days were interesting features used to adorn the faces.

Gerald Mellin left a note with his funeral wishes, the inquest heard A depressed businessman going through a divorce decapitated himself by tying a rope to a tree and driving away in his open-top car, an inquest has heard. Gerald Mellin, 54, of Neath, showed the rope to his 33-year-old wife two weeks earlier when he had asked her to quit their business and their farmhouse. He cancelled his life insurance and ran up debts because he wanted to leave her "with nothing," the hearing was told. Swansea coroner Phillip Rogers recorded a verdict of suicide. Mr Mellin's widow Mirrielle told the hearing she had won a court order the day before her husband's suicide for an extra £100 a week from him to help with the running of the house.
