The raids are part of France's National Financial Prosecutors' Office investigation into tax on image rights payments that were prompted by documents published by Football Leaks.

Investigations were opened in December after the whistle-blowers allegedly detailed the tax arrangements of some of the top names in football.

Di Maria has previously been the target of tax charges in Spain after his time with La Liga giants Real Madrid.
