Angel Di Maria believes Messi will hit the ground running at PSG next season.
The 34-year-old winger has confirmed his PSG exit and is heavily linked with a move to Juventus this summer.
His compatriot Lionel Messi has struggled to make his mark in the French capital in his debut season with illness and injuries playing a big factor in his struggle.
He has bagged six goals and 14 assists in 26 appearances in the Ligue 1 last season.
The Argentine international has come under heavy criticism for his goal contribution but his chance creation still remains one of the best in Europe.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be sacked in the next few weeks but Di Maria believes Messi can thrive without the Argentine manager.
“It seems like they also want [Pochettino] to leave,” Di Maria said to TyC Sports. “There will be a very big change, but I think Messi can handle it.
“It will help him to be much better next season. I think he will start very well because he ended up contributing goals, giving assists, feeling very comfortable and adapting more and more [late this past season].”
