Angel Di Maria has extended his contract with Paris Saint-Germain by one season until 2022.
Di Maria, 33, has made 248 appearances and scored 87 goals since joining the French champions from Manchester United in 2015.
"Paris Saint-Germain is delighted to announce that Angel Di Maria has signed a one-year contract extension, with an option of a second year," PSG said in a statement.
Only Safet Susic, who played for PSG from 1982-91, has managed more assists for the club than Di Maria (103).
"I hope to beat that record of Safet Susic because I would stay in the record books of the club," Di Maria said in a club statement.
Di Maria has won 16 trophies with the club including four league titles in 2016, 2018, 2019 and 2020.
He came on as a second-half substitute as PSG progressed in the Champions League on Wednesday at the expense of Barcelona.
The Ligue 1 club survived a first-half onslaught from Barcelona, where Lionel Messi scored but missed a penalty, to draw 1-1 and go through 5-2 on aggregate.
PSG are second in Ligue 1, two points behind leaders Lille.
