Born in Valencia where his Argentinian father played, so far he has only been called up by the Albicelesti youth teams
Suddenly, everyone wants it. The Spanish newspaper As reveals that the federations of Argentina and Spain are arguing over Mateo Pellegrini, the Parma striker who destroyed Verona with a brace over the weekend. Mateo is 24 years old and so far he has received a call from the Under 19 team and another from the Argentine Under 21 team, but without making his debut with the seniors.
THE PATH
—
He was born in Valencia, because his father Mauricio played and trained in the Spanish city. Football-wise, he grew up in Europe in the nurseries of the teams in which his father played, who returned to Argentina to coach (today he is at Lanus) and made his debut in the local league with Velez in March 2021. Then he was loaned to Estudiantes and Platense before being sold to Parma in the last winter transfer window, making his debut in Emilia on 22 February in the 2-0 against Bologna.
THE DEFEATS
—
In recent years, Spain has followed the many guys with double passports with great attention, they lost the battles with Morocco, Uruguay and Argentina for Brahim, Nico Paz and Garnacho, and now they are trying again with Pellegrino. We’ll see what the Parma striker decides.
