Head coach Laurent Blanc claimed earlier

Princes is "close".
And Real Madrid Castilla coach Zidane
believes the Argentina international is an
ideal signing to help PSG in their quest to
win the Champions League.
"He's the kind of player that can take you
to the next stage. That's what they need to go further in the Champions League," the former France international told BFM TV.
"Angel Di Maria can contribute his energy,
the difference he makes when he accelerates, he has the quality to do
something. I think that it will happen in
the coming days."
Zidane has also backed compatriot Michel
Platini's bid to become the new president
of Fifa, following the former Juventus

election to replace Sepp Blatter .
"He'll do well. He's the ideal person to
take over all that," said Zidane.
"I'll support him, he's done a good job. Of
course I would vote for him."
