Angers on Wednesday, as the Qatar-owned club look to tie the Argentine down to a new contract.<br \/>The 35-year-old took part in training with his teammates on Tuesday, a little over three weeks after inspiring Argentina to victory over France on penalties in an epic World Cup final in Qatar.<br \/>He was granted a two-week holiday back in his home country following the tournament, before returning to Paris and being given a guard of honour at <!-- -->PSG<!-- -->&#8216;s training ground last Wednesday.<br \/>The seven-time Ballon d&#8217;Or winner, who scored 12 goals in 19 games this
