Diego Maradona ended his eight-year career with Napoli when the Italian club transferred him to Seville of the Spanish League for $7.5 million.
“This is the happiest day of my life, the day I returned to soccer and they gave me my freedom,” Maradona said. “Today I start to live again as I always have and as I know how.”
The 31-year-old forward completed a 15-month suspension for cocaine use on June 30. But he refused to report for the final season of his contract with Napoli.
