Former Benfica winger Ángel Di María came forward to clarify that he has no intention of retiring, despite the rumors that have been circulating. The Argentine player guaranteed that he is very happy at Central Córdoba, his current club in Argentina, thus seeking to calm the spirits of fans and the media.

Di María, who played for Benfica between 2014 and 2015, has been the subject of recent speculation about his future in football. The player's statements come as a direct response to these news reports that reported a possible imminent retirement.

The forward, who currently plays for Central Córdoba, demonstrated satisfaction with his current sporting situation. His words were intended to dispel any doubts about the continuity of his professional career.

Di María's intervention comes at a time when Argentine football has been closely following the career of the veteran 36-year-old player, who has already represented clubs such as Real Madrid, PSG and Juventus, in addition to Benfica and Manchester United.
