Diego Maradona's son has been offered on loan to Scottish First Division side Clyde. The Argentine superstar's 16-year-old son Diego Junior is currently with Italian Serie B side Napoli, where his dad became a legend in the late 80s and early 90s.
Maradona has never recognised the child, but after DNA tests in 1993 the Italian courts confirmed the boy was his son. Clyde boss Alan Kernaghan admits he will look into the possibility of Diego Junior joining his squad in the summer.
The former Irish international said today: "I took a phone call out of the blue last week from a TV company acting on behalf of Napoli about the possibility of Diego Maradona's son coming to Clyde. At the moment, he's too young to play for the first team there and they want to put him out on loan next season."
"They said they can't really put him on loan to another Italian club because there would be too much pressure on him with the media there. I haven't really had the chance to look into it because we're fighting for promotion but it is definitely something we will check out in the summer."
