Diego Cocca has his new number 9 for El Tri in Brazil

Diego Cocca does not have a fixed striker. It is that after the actions of Henry Martín and Santiago Giménez, things are not convincing and other elements must be sought to make the position of 9 of the national team of Mexico competitive, for the 2026 appointment, where they must arrive with a strong project.

In this sense, now the coach could use a player who has important records in his career. A goalscorer in youth categories, the athlete decided to learn Uruguayan football in his childhood, but now he will make the leap to a Brazilian club that opens its doors for him.

According to the report from the 'Jóvenes Futbolistas MX' account, the Uruguayan Mexican striker Diego Abreu will have the opportunity to play for the Botafogo team, on loan. The athlete recently renewed his contract with the Defensor Sporting team, who will now give him a chance to play in soccer in Brazil, where he will be more demanding.

Mexico thus has one more striker who can compete and generate great chances for our soccer to become competitive. A case that now would allow the Mexican team to have more arguments to have a new 9, which does perform.

Can Diego Abreu play for Mexico?

Yes, the athlete, according to the FIFA nationality regulations, may still be eligible for the Mexican national team. In this sense, El Tri did approach the player with an offer, who is still analyzing the case of representing the national team, or the Uruguayan national team.
