They said he was the new Mexican Messi, now he resigns from Mexico and will play with this country

After the World Cup won by the Argentine team, Lionel Scaloni focuses on the start of the South American Qualifiers and the Copa América 2024. In this context, he was clear when he pointed out that he will not have preference with the world champions, since there are young players in Europe who ask for a space in the absolute team. One of them, who was born in Mexico, decided to resign from El Tri and will represent the Albiceleste.

It's about Luka Romero. The offensive player was born in Durango, Mexico, and has been tempted by El Tri since he was very young. However, he does not plan to represent the North American country and dreams of playing with Lionel Messi, with whom he shared a concentration during the Qualifiers for the World Cup in Qatar. At 18 years old, he can now be taken into account by the Sub 20 for the World Cup of the category.

Recently, it was confirmed that Argentina will host the competition, because FIFA removed the organization from Indonesia due to political problems with Israel. In this way, the Albiceleste team will participate in the tournament and Romero is one of the players who are on the AFA's radar to go to the competition that will take place from May 20 to June 11.

Where does Luka Romero currently play?

At a very young age he did a test at FC Barcelona, but due to his age he could not stay at La Masía. In 2015 he signed for Mallorca and since 2021 he has been in the Italian Lazio. This season, he has nine appearances between Serie A, the Italian Cup and the Conference League. He scored a goal against Monza last November.
