The playmaker has spoken to his compatriot about the Ligue 1 champions and says the Manchester United man hopes to join them
Javier Pastore has revealed that Angel Di Maria has told him he wants to ditch Manchester United and join Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
A move away from Old Trafford has looked likely for some time after the Argentine endured a rough debut campaign under Louis van Gaal following his British record £59.7 million switch from Real Madrid last summer.

The winger has looked set to join PSG for weeks, with Laurent Blanc admitting that a deal is "close", while he has also been fined by his current club for not joining the squad on their pre-season tour of the United States.
Pastore, who recently committed his future to the French champions by signing a new four-year contract, is confident Di Maria will join him at the Parc des Princes and believes he will be a decisive player if a deal is done.
"I told him to join us," Pastore told Le Parisien. "He also asked me many questions about the club, the city and the way of life for his family.
"He wants to come. He is a very great player. Plus, he alone can win important matches."
Di Maria scored three goals and set up a further 10 in his 27 Premier League appearances for United last season.
