It is a subject that affects more and more countries in Europe and around the world. The problem of binationals creates more and more puzzles with federations, and France, like Spain, know it well. For example, our Iberian neighbors have faced several big cases in recent years, like Lamine Yamal and Dean Huijsen, where they have been winners, and others like Nico Paz or Alejandro Garnacho where they saw the player escape their hands.

If his dream is to play for Spain, he does not necessarily say no to France. Especially since the Blues will participate in the U17 World Cup in November, which is not the case with Spain. An asset for France therefore to convince the player. Anyway, in Madrid, everyone is convinced that a superb future awaits him …
