Maradona keen for transfer
NZPA-Reuter Rio De Janeiro
Diego Maradona wants to leave Napoli for the French champion side Marseille, according to a Brazilian newspaper report published yesterday.
Maradona told “O Globo” that he wanted to move for family reasons. “I don’t want to deprive my daughter Dalma of a happy life, like living in a big house with a huge
garden where she can run and jump at will,” "0 Globo” quoted Maradona as saying. “In Naples she will never have that,” the Argentine captain said. He said Napoli was not prepared to transfer him to Marseille in spite of a massive offer from the French soccer club. Maradona’s contract with Napoli expires in 1993.
But Maradona said he would do anything to persuade Napoli to
release him, even, moving his family back to Buenos Aires and visiting them once a month. He said he and his family lacked privacy and freedom in Naples.
“Also, French football is not as tiring as Italian. So I could train more calmly, pacing myself physically to take part in a third World Cup (Italy, 1990), when I aim to leave the national team,” he said.
