It is believed that the entire Argentine family was in the house at the time, including his two young daughters.
His wife, Jorgelina, was also at their home in Paris at the time of the robbery.
This is not the first time that Di Maria has had experiences with thieves.
While playing for Manchester United, his Cheshire home in Prestbury was the scene of an attempted robbery on January 31, 2015.

Le Parisien has reported that the contents of an upstairs safe were raided at his home while a specialized burglary unit was dispatched to Neuilly-sur-Seine.
This is not the first time that PSG players have been attacked.
During the past 18 months, Sergio Rico, Thiago Silva, Eric Maxim Choupo Moting and others have been victims of serious robberies.
In his post-match press conference, Pochettino did not confirm the incident but did refer to matters other than football.
He said: “There are situations outside of football that also explain the second half.
“It’s not an excuse, but it caused a reduction in energy. Full time, we talked about other things besides football.”
