I hope Maradona doens't call... you can't say no to Diego! - Dani Osvaldo

The former Italy international has not played since 2016 but says that he would struggle to turn down a return to action if the Gimnasia boss calls

Diego Maradona would be hard to resist, admits former Roma and Southampton man Dani Osvaldo, as speculation swirls over the retired striker’s potential return under the Argentine legend.

Former Italy internationa Osvaldol, who last played in 2016, has been out of the game since in order to focus on his music career with band Barrio Viejo.

But talk has emerged in recent days of the 33-year-old ending his self-imposed exile to play for Superliga outfit Gimnasia, who Maradona has taken charge of until the end of the season.
