He spent last season with Italian side Juventus after seven years with French giants Paris St-Germain.
“Welcome home, Di Maria,” said the club in a video announcing his move, which is reportedly a one-year deal.
Di Maria won the Portuguese league and cup double in his last season with Benfica before moving to Real Madrid.
He will join close friend and compatriot Nicolas Otamendi, with whom he won the World Cup in Qatar last year.
