Angel Di Maria is closing in on a transfer to Paris Saint-Germain after just one unsettling year with Manchester United.
But his signature has arrived at a hefty price for the Ligue 1 champions.
The Express report that the move will cost PSG over £100million – including his £44m fee and £140,000-per-week after tax wages.
The Argentine is set to put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal at the Parc des Princes, which means he will earn £7.73m each season – and just over £30m in total if he sees out his contract.
With France’s 45 percent income tax rate, however, they will have to part with a huge £56.2m in just wages for the former Real Madrid star.

This pay packet will certainly soften the blow of the £360,000 fine he’s set to be handed by Louis van Gaal as a consequence of missing the Red Devils’ pre-season tour this summer.
Di Maria is set to undergo his PSG medical on Monday or Tuesday, and will be officially unveiled before their opening league clash against Lille on Friday, the Express claim.
