The marriage between Gimnasia La Plata and Diego Maradona, which worked so well since the celebrated arrival of 10 in La Plata and ended with the accomplished goal of saving the category -beyond the exceptional external conditions-, goes through turbulent hours. Amid cross messages from both sides that occur in the framework of a football completely stopped by the coronavirus pandemic, the break seems closer than ever.

On the one hand, the president of the club from La Plata, Gabriel Pellegrino, assured the newspaper "El Día", from La Plata, that Maradona had rejected the institution's offer to extend the link until December 2021.

According to the leader, the proposal was to maintain the same conditions that Diego had signed in his first contract with the club. A situation that, in the inflationary context that Argentina lives, implied in fact a reduction in the amounts. Nothing too surprising given the critical situation that different clubs are experiencing with stopped football, although it does not seem to be too close to the quality jump that Gimnasia gave since Maradona's arrival.

Although there were no official statements from Diego, from his environment a testimony appeared that reflects the tension of the moment.

It was his lawyer, Matías Morla, who commented on the disgust at the current situation. Without speaking of offers, he recalled Maradona's commitment to Gymnastics, stating that "he did not miss a single match, even defying the recommendations of his doctors." And he remarked: "Today those who went to look for him when everything was on fire, do not want to renew him. Maradona wants to continue in gymnastics."

Diego gambled everything for gymnastics. He did not miss a single game and even defying the recommendations of his doctors. Today those who went to look for him when everything was on fire, do not want to renew him. Maradona wants to continue in gymnastics.

Between the crossed darts, it is clear that the relationship between the club and the coach has passed the worst moment since his arrival. And although it still lacks to define the situation, any gesture seems that it can take to the rupture. Of course, in the "Maradona World" you never know.
