The Albiceleste coach commented on the possibility that the Roma striker chooses Italy: “He’s growing a lot and I’ve been following him for some time, if he continues like this there won’t be any problems”
The blue dream of seeing Matias Soulè with the Italy shirt has already faded. Coach Lionel Scaloni put an end to it once and for all on the eve of the friendly match with Puerto Rico. “Soulé called up by Italy? I don’t think it’s possible, he’s been in our sights for some time – the Albiceleste coach said yesterday in a press conference -. We see in him the future of the Argentine national team and he will soon have his opportunities. I’ve been following his performances for some time and I know he’s growing a lot, if he continues like this there won’t be any problems”. In recent days the Argentine coach himself reassured the Roma player by telephone that in reality he never had any doubts about the choice.

It all happened after the words of Soulé’s agent who in an interview a few days ago had launched the provocation: “Argentina have never called him, yet many young people have made their debut in recent months. Matias deserves a chance for what he is doing in an important club like Roma. If the situation doesn’t resolve itself? He can legally be called up by Italy, everything is possible”. A signal that arrived directly in Argentina even though Soulé’s dream was and still is to play for the Albiceleste, so much so that he already rejected the call from former coach Luciano Spalletti more than a year ago. From the next call-ups, therefore, the name of the former Juventus player could perhaps appear in place of Echeverri who is not finding space at Leverkusen and who could have joined Soulé at Roma in the summer.
