Real Snubbed Di Maria Demands

Carlo Ancelotti has been discussing comings and goings at Real Madrid, with Angel di Maria demanding too much to stay.

The Argentina international brought a four-year stay at Santiago Bernabeu to an end over the summer when completing a British record £59.7million transfer to Manchester United.

Real were reluctant to part with one of their most creative influences, but refused to bow to his salary requests.

He told Cadena COPE: “Di Maria? I was in agreement with the club. There are times when the club needs to say no. You can’t change the policies of the club for one player.

“Di Maria asked for a lot of money and preferred to leave to go find it. The club couldn’t give him the money he wanted. They say that I’m the manager of the club; of course, I coach for the club, not for the players.
