Pedro Damiani iniciativa de Diego Maradona para jugar en Peñarol 1997

Football: Interview with the president of Club Atlético Peñarol, Jose Pedro Damiani, where he states: "Well, this was Diego Maradona's initiative, because Peñarol, due to financial constraints, would never have dared to approach Maradona, as we know he commands a very high fee. But it seems the intention was his, and he made this public, and we were fascinated by the idea. We were fascinated because, as I always say, great figures finance themselves, and he has a contract. Someone we know could facilitate things. Furthermore, we're going to play in the Copa Libertadores, and one of the things he said was that he never played in the Copa Libertadores, that he never won it. And, well, this is now imminent; a new edition begins on February 26th, and for us, as I said, it might seem like a dream, but a dream that often becomes reality."
