Real Madrid's acquisition of World Cup starlet James Rodriguez has forced a crowded situation in the Spanish capital, with Angel Di Maria reportedly being the odd man out. Per Cadena Cope (via Goal Transfer Talk), the Argentine's future is expected to be decided within a few days. Di Maria is expected to choose between Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain for a permanent transfer.

Real Madrid is willing to accept any offers between €50 and €60 million according to the reports.
Such a hefty price tag falls in line with earlier comments from Manchester United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward. In his interview to the British media, Woodward was vocal about the club's desire to find an elite talent regardless of the cost.

"It is in our capabilities [to spend like Real Madrid and Barcelona have]," he said (via Soccerly). "The club are not afraid of doing that—spending significant amounts of money in the transfer market. Whether it's a record or not doesn't really resonate with us. What resonates is a top, top elite player that the manager wants that is going to be a star for Manchester United."
"We are in a very strong financial position," he added. "We can make big signings. I get pointed in the direction of a target that the manager wants and there is an assessment of what that might cost and I'll negotiate hard to do the best I can on the trade."
