Ángel Di María is officially back at Rosario Central, the club where his professional journey began. The Argentine side confirmed the signing this Thursday via social media, sending thousands of fans into a frenzy across the country.

“Our story still has more pages to be written”

In a heartwarming video ending with the message “welcome home” over an image of the winger, Rosario Central celebrated the return of one of their prodigal sons. Di María himself shared the post on Instagram, proudly wearing the shirt of the club he has always loved.

The phrase used in the announcement, “our story still has more pages to be written”, perfectly captured the emotional bond between the player and the institution—now reignited by his long-awaited return after a legendary European career.

A fairytale return for a World Cup hero

The Argentine winger’s comeback comes just days after his departure from Benfica, where he enjoyed two successful stints. Over the years, Di María has starred for elite clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and the Portuguese side.

He was also a key figure in Argentina’s 2022 FIFA World Cup triumph in Qatar, scoring in the final against France and solidifying his legacy as one of the most iconic players of his generation.

At 36 years old, Di María keeps his promise to return to Rosario Central, completing the emotional full circle of his career. Argentine football welcomes back a true world champion.
