Luka Romero has hinted at the possibility of playing for Argentina, Mexico or Spain.

Romero holds three nationalities. Born in Mexico to Argentine parents but raised in Spain, the 19 year old has represented Argentina at youth level but could still play for any of the three national teams. Speaking in an interview with ESPN, here is what Romero had to say:

“I don’t close my doors to anyone. It’s a privilege to have three nationalities because the three are very good national teams. I’m a kid, I have a lot of possibilities to pick. I don’t know what can happen in the future, I will always be grateful to all three.”
