@FootynewsFootball turns in the wildest ways, and Luka Romero's switch to the Mexico national team is a complete joke. The 22-year-old Cruz Azul player finally decided to represent his birth country after years of insisting on the Albiceleste. Born in Durango, he and his family always aimed for Argentina, where he even played at the 2023 U-20 World Cup. Despite that history, Mexican officials tried to recruit him multiple times since 2023, but he rejected those offers four separate times. His career path included stints at Mallorca, Alavés, Lazio, AC Milan, and Almería without ever securing a permanent role. With opportunities with Argentina now looking non-existent, he is prepared to play for Mexico instead. It is a total reversal from the stance he held so clearly before.
