City are set to face Napoli in the Champions League in Italy on Tueday.
“In the past he told me everything about Napoli, and I have also seen on TV what he did, how important he was for the fans,” he said.
“This is a matter of pride for me because I am Argentinian.
“It is my dream, doing what Maradona did for Napoli, doing the same for Manchester City.
“But I don’t want to talk about myself, it is important Manchester City do well as a team.”
