Hey guys, the latest reports coming in our saying that Jorge SAMPAOLI has left to Amsterdam to meet personally with Nicolás TAGLIAFICO, a recent Ajax signing.

This wasn’t in the coach’s original plans but SAMPAOLI took it upon himself to visit the left back to most likely discuss the national team’s necesities and requirements in terms of the left back position. As we can recall, the left back was part of SAMPAOLI’S call-ups vs Brazil and Singapore. He was no longer called up after those two matches.

TAGLIAFICO still hasn’t made his official debut for Ajax, but if he manages to challenge for a starting spot on the team, SAMPAOLI will most likely consider him for the friendly matches against Italy and Spain in March.

What do you guys think? What do you guys think SAMPAOLI is thinking? Maybe as a variable to be used in various formations? I personally think TAGLIAFICO is a good option to have.

As always,

VAMOS ARGENTINA!!

Lisandro LOPEZ has joined Italian club Inter.

Benfica’s towering centreback has joined Serie A giants Inter, following a medical on Monday. Inter have signed the Argentinian on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy.

Current reports state that Benfica will receive about €500,000 for the loan deal with Inter having an option to buy him for €9 million at the end of the season. Speaking with Inter’s official website, here’s what Lisandro had to say:

Lisandro LOPEZ speaks about Inter move:

“To play for a club such as Inter who are one of the biggest in Europe is a dream which means a lot for me. I’ve come here to give a hand to the team, to help it reach its objectives. There have been a lot of Argentines at Inter. Among others, SAMUEL, ZANETTI and MILITO come to mind and they’re all players who’ve made history. I hope to do well too. I used to follow Serie A and it’s one of the best leagues in the world for me. It’s very tactical, very competitive and I’ll look to give my all and learn day by day.”

LOPEZ joins fellow Argentine and club captain Mauro ICARDI.

It was a list of big names who scored in Europe this weekend as Lionel MESSI, Angel DI MARIA, Manuel LANZINI and Eduardo SALVIO all found the back of the net.

Beginning in England, Manuel LANZINI continues to impress for his side, this time scoring twice for West Ham United in their 4-1 win against Huddersfield. LANZINI’s name has been in the press the past few days as a possible replacement for Barcelona’s COUTINHO, who left Liverpool earlier in the transfer market.

Moving to Portugal, Eduardo SALVIO scored in Benfica’s 3-1 win against Braga. It was an Argentine connection on the goal as Franco CERVI provided the assist.

Next to the border in Spain, it was a Lionel MESSI goal and a Lionel MESSI record. The little guy scored a marvelous free kick past Geronimo RULLI in Barcelona’s 4-2 win against Real Sociedad. The win takes them nine points clear of Diego SIMEONE’s Atletico Madrid and ensures that they are the only unbeaten team in Europe’s top five leagues (after Manchester City lost 4-3 to Liverpool).

MESSI’s goal was his 366th league goal, edging him past the German Gerd MULLER’s record of strikes in a European top five league.

Right across to France, Angel DI MARIA scored the lone goal in PSG’s 1-0 win against FC Nantes.

Lautaro MARTINEZ could be called-up for the friendly matches in March.

With Claudio TAPIA confirming that the Argentina National Team would be playing two friendly matches against Italy and Spain in March, rumors have already surfaced about who might receive a call-up.

Racing Club’s Lautaro MARTINEZ is the name being mentioned in the press. With the first match confirmed to take place in Switzerland, the second match against Spain will be played at the Wanda Metropolitano in Madrid (Atletic’s stadium).

This would be MARTINEZ’s first call-up to the senior team having represented his country at the U20 FIFA World Cup last year. MARTINEZ has been linked with a move to Europe but a few days ago he announced to the press that he would be staying at Racing for a little longer:

Lautaro MARTINEZ on his future at Racing:

“I’ll stay here until June, after that, we’ll see.”

Both Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan are interested in signing him.

Arsenal and Liverpool are both reportedly interested in signing Argentinian players.

Alejandro GOMEZ and youngster Cristian PAVON are the two names being mentioned in the press to a possible move to England. According to a report, Alejandro GOMEZ is being linked to a move to Liverpool.

With COUTINHO joining FC Barcelona a few days ago, the English club receive a fair amount for the Brazilian and some of that money could be spent on getting the Atalanta man. Now at 29, GOMEZ would apparently be interested in the move to England should an offer be presented.

The other name being mentioned is that of Cristian PAVON. The Boca Juniors man is already an Argentine international, having recently made his debut under coach Jorge SAMPAOLI. Arsenal are the team interested in signing PAVON, with a report stating that should the London club sell Alexis SANCHEZ to Manchester City, they would make a $37 million bid to Boca for the Argentine international.
