"I fell in love with the way Maradona touched the ball and realised that I had to bring him to Barcelona by any means necessary.
President Tesone said during the negotiations: "I hope you don't mind if I put a gun on the table. It's just hard to carry," TyC Sports quoted Minghella as saying, citing the BBC.
