Italy coach Roberto Mancini is back interested in Marcos Senesi.
Roberto Mancini is reportedly looking to get Marcos Senesi to play with the Italian national team. According to Diario AS, Mancini is interested in Senesi as he looks to add new players to the team.
Mancini had previously included Senesi in a pre-call up in June 2022 but Senesi refused the call up as he was included in the Argentina national team for the Finalissima against Italy and a friendly against Estonia.
Marcos Senesi made his Argentina debut in the 5-0 win vs. Estonia last year and has only played one match with the Argentina national team. This comes after Mancini gave Argentine born Mateo Retegui his debut with the Italian team earlier this year.
