Diego Maradona's inheritance is an important source of concern between his children, because the soccer legend did not leave a will. There is are lots of houses, lots of cars, lots of money and lots of any other goods that are waiting to be splitted by a judge. And now, a new house was added to the list of disputes.

This is a house that Fidel Castro gifted the Argentinian at the beginning of the 2000 decade, when Maradona travelled to Cuba for a rehabilitation to stop his addiction to drugs. He lived four years in that house in La Habana and recently his son called Maradona's last attorney, Matias Morla, to remind him that the house was property of the former soccer star and such, it had to be taken into account in the succession.

What Morla intends to do is to make that house become a museum for Diego Maradona. He was loved in Cuba and as a friend of the Castro family, his popularity in that country was beyond soccer. And of course, that home has still many objects in it, as told Mauricio D'Alessandro, Morla's lawyer.

Inside that place there are still valuable photos, letters of leaders all around the world and even many grafitti in the walls painted by Maradona himself, where he expressed his love for Fidel Castro. That house has little to nothing about soccer, but it still has a lot of Maradona in it.
