Angel Di Maria staged a brilliant performance in his final match for Paris Saint-Germain as he scored one of the five goals fired past a helpless Metz side.

The Saturday, May 21, encounter was justifiably dominated by the Kylian Mbappe transfer saga that had seen the Frenchman snub a switch to Real Madrid to remain at Parc des Princes.

However, this did not stop Di Maria from ensuring that he signs out of the French capital in style ahead of a proposed move to Juventus.

His imminent departure was confirmed by PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi who revealed the club's record assist-provider will be leaving at the end of the season.

Daily Mail now reports that the former Manchester United winger is in advanced talks to join Italian giants, Juventus.
