Mi Sports: Sule’s mother is from Italy, which complies with the rules of changing the national team. Spalletti once invited her

"Gazzetta dello Sport" pointed out that Sule is eligible to choose to play for the Italian national team, and former Italian coach Spalletti has contacted him in the past.

Sule performed well in Rome this season, but still failed to be selected for the new Argentine national team. Sule's agent has publicly stated that if the situation does not change, Sule can choose to play for the Italian national team. Later, "Gazzetta dello Sport" analyzed the possibility of Sule representing Italy.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" pointed out that first of all, Sule's mother Virginia and maternal grandparents are from Ancona, Italy, so Sule has dual nationality of Italy and Argentina. Secondly, Sule has been selected for the Argentina national team before, but he has never played in a national team game. According to FIFA rules, if a player has played less than 3 times for a national team before the age of 21, and the last appearance was at least 3 years ago, then he will choose to switch to the national team. Therefore, it is in line with the rules for Sule to choose the Italian national team.

In addition, Sule once revealed that the Italian national team contacted him in the past. "I was still playing at Frosinone, and my coach (Di Francesco) was very familiar with the Italian national team coach (Spaletti). I stayed at Dybala's house, and one day coach Di Francesco sent me a message saying, 'Matti, is everything okay? Spalletti will call you and call you in (Italy). National team. ’”

Sule continued: “Sure enough, Spalletti called me afterwards, congratulating me on my performance, saying that I had made rapid progress, and said that he hoped that I would be selected for the Italian national team, because he knew that I had an Italian passport. Later, Spalletti came to meet me at our team’s training base and told me that he wanted me. Coming into the national team and saying I have to make a decision immediately because the (2024) European Championship is coming up soon. I did not expect that the choice to join the Italian national team would be easy, but I told him that my first choice was the Argentinian national team and that I would continue to wait patiently. He understood my choice very well. "

In the end, Sule said: "Now I am still waiting to be called up by the Argentine national team. I know the competition is fierce, but I will continue to work hard. It’s every kid’s dream and I won’t stop hoping. "Gazzetta dello Sport" pointed out that after missing out on the Argentine national team for a row, will Sule change his original mind?
