General interest
Argentine soccer players are increasingly flooding the squads of the European teams and a River striker is in the crosshairs of one of them.
It is increasingly common for elite European teams to look for new talents in South America to nurture their squads in times of generational change. In Argentina there are several figures who have dual nationality and who, having no chance today in the team led by Lionel Scaloni, may choose to represent a country in which they were not born. Or vice versa, like Alexander Garnacho, that there might be for Spain to be born in Madrid but opted for the Albiceleste.
The first thing mentioned above was what happened with Mateo Retegui, Tigre striker, following accepting the Italian call-up and causing a boom for his two goals once morest England and Malta on the FIFA date. The bet that DT Roberto Mancini made with the former man from Talleres was a success and for this reason, according to the Italian press, now he has several more Argentines in his sights to nationalize in the short term.
Within the list of 10 players that Tutto Sport published, is Lucas Beltranone of the most outstanding players in Martín Demichelis’s team and who converts more and more often. The Viking has a community passport and dual nationality, so he would be able to accept a hypothetical call from Italy and represent the Azzurra from now on.
The other nine footballers who would be in Mancini’s sights to join Italy, in the midst of a notorious decrease in the hierarchy of his squad, are the following: Nicolas Valentini (Boca), Nicolas Capaldo (Salzburg), Pedro De La Vega (Lanús), Gianluca Prestianni (Velez), Tomás Pozzo (Independent), Ignacio Maestro Puch (Atletico Tucuman), Gino Infantino (Rosario Central), Juan Sforza and Just Gianni (both of Newell’s).
For now, River did not receive any official notification Regarding Beltrán’s future at the national team level, although if he maintains this level, it would not be unreasonable for Mancini to continue to closely follow his performance and begin to imagine him in the near future within his team.
