Paris Saint-Germain have called time on their pursuit of Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria after being priced out of a deal.

The French champions, who on Thursday unveiled £50million centre-back signing David Luiz, have not hidden their interest in Argentina international Di Maria during the summer transfer window.

But speaking at Luiz's official unveiling, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi admitted the transfer would not happen, particularly given the club's situation with regards to Financial Fair Play.
