[Di Maria] came in, but this morning he did not train, Ancelotti said. It is not fully done, but he is close to a transfer. He came to say goodbye. We thanked him for what he has done for this team and we wished him luck for the future. It is not official, but it is resolved. Ancelotti -- who fought hard to keep Di Maria through last season and kept playing him even after the player thrust his crotch at Madrid fans whistling him at the Bernabeu -- said the club had done everything possible to keep the player but the Argentina international had himself decided to go. I have a very good relationship with him, he said. It was his own decision, the club did everything possible, offering him all that he could get here. He has decided something else, so we wish him much luck. Di Marias unhappiness at Madrid is thought to stem from him not receiving sufficient recognition from Perez for his contributions through recent seasons. AS report that the player was last season on about 3.5 million euros a year, putting him outside the top 10 of the clubs best paid players.
