What kind of comparison is this
Tevez was 29 when we signed him. 5 years younger than Di Maria, a winger, ffs. Tevez was 29, Barzagli was 30, Pirlo was 32, etc. Would you give that salary to 34yo Tevez?
The problem is not to sign Di Maria, it's to do so as the solution to our problems. Our squad needs a lot more than an expensive band-aid solution. If we sort out other problems first, get a younger forward, and then we still have the budget to pay Di Maria 7m per season, then sure. As plan A, no.

Don't know what he would earn but he currently earns 1m. Triple it and its still less than half the rumored salary for Di Maria.
