Matias Soulé has carried the Roma attack in the early going amid their strikers’ struggles and Paulo Dybala’s injury woes. However, his sound performances in the last few months haven’t resulted in a regular role for Argentina. The winger might give in to Italy’s courtship eventually.
His agent, Martin Guastadisegno, issued a warning in an interview with LaRoma24.
“He’s working hard to reach the national team. He’s their only youngster who has yet to be given the possibility to play a single minute. I think that he’s becoming a leader in an important team and deserves a chance.”
“We know that Argentina has many players in that position, but considering his consistency, he deserves a spot. His dream is to play in the World Cup. He also has Italian citizenship. I don’t know what could happen if this situation with the Albiceleste doesn’t get resolved. Every option is on the table. I can say that, legally, he can be selected by the Azzurri.”
According to Il Tempo (via Goal), Luciano Spalletti tried to convince Soulé ahead of the 2024 Euro, but he was very committed to playing with his home country.
The attacker was born in Mar del Plata, but his mother, Virginia Malvano, and his grandparents are from Ancona. He’s been called up once by Argentina, in September 2024, but didn’t play, so he can technically switch to another national team.
Our Take on Soulé and Italy
It’d be a messy recruitment but a strong get for the Azzurri, who can use all the talent they can find. La Seleccion likely thought they already had him in the bag. They have been proactive with way weaker players and will probably make sure he won’t leave in November or next March.
