Maradona died on November 25, after a cardiac arrest.
Mario Baudry, the lawyer of Maradona’s last partner Veronica Ojeda added: “The plan is to create a mausoleum somewhere for fans to visit.
“It was something Maradona had also discussed with his brothers.
"The proposal we have is serious, concrete and with the expenses covered but ultimately it would be the responsibility of the football federation.”
