Ex-football player (or Soccer, because Americans are confusing) Diego Maradona said that he is suing Konami for using his likeness in PES 2017 without his permission.
On his official Facebook page, Maradona said he "heard yesterday that the Japanese company Konami uses my image for its game PES 2017."
"My lawyer Matias Morla will initiate the corresponding legal actions," he continues, "I hope this is not another scam."
Maradona, considered by many to be the greatest soccer player ever, had his image used in PES 2017 myClub mode. In this mode, players build their dream team of both current and ex-pros.
Maradona was a football player for 21 years, from 1976 to 1997. He broke the world record transfer fee twice and was named FIFA's Player of the Century in 2000.
Konami has not officially responded to the announcement as of yet.
