On June 24, following security threats in Rosario, Governor Maximiliano Plaza of Santa Fe Province in Argentina declared that if star player Lionel Messi (Di Maria) were willing to tolerate restricted movement, the government would provide immediate protection for him and his family. “Any threat to Di Maria’s safety will be met with arrest. If he can accept the necessary measures, such as temporary restrictions on his freedom, we can ensure their safety,” Plaza said. He had previously communicated with Di Maria’s father, acknowledging the fear felt by the family. Criminals often target high-profile figures to cause unrest, he explained.
Di Maria is currently with the Argentine national team at the Copa America, striving to defend their title. After leaving Benfica, speculation abounds over his next destination, with Barcelona legend Messi hoping for a move to Inter Miami, and Saudi Arabia’s league expressing interest. The likelihood of him returning to his former club Rosario Central has significantly decreased in light of the security concerns.
