A 19-year-old declares Maradona's son - Requests exhumation for DNA test

A 19-year-old claims that he is the son of Diego Maradona and asks for his exhumation for a DNA test!

This is Santiago Lara, who had tried in the past to prove that he is a child of the legend of world football.

"I was told that my real father was Diego Maradona. My father will always be Marcello Lara, but I was told that my father is Maradona. I think I look like him. I have the face, the curls, everything. I look at Marcello and I know we do not look alike. "It is not easy to wake up in the morning with this feeling", Lara had said in 2016.

"I found out when I passed in front of a kiosk near my house at the age of 13 and saw a magazine cover with Maradona's face and mine with pixels underneath. I was shocked because I did not know what I was doing in the magazine. I ran home and asked Marcello what was going on and he explained everything to me. He told me that my mother was a model when she was young and he told me that he had the feeling that I was not his son. "He told me he had asked for a DNA test but that never happened."

The 19-year-old lost his mother in 2006. Maradona has officially recognized five children, while six more have occasionally claimed to be his children.
