While the Argentine national team is preparing for its last friendly match in the country before the 2026 World Cup, the coaching staff led by Lionel Scaloni also projects to the future and expands the radar in search of talents with
albicelestial roots.
In this context, Nicolò Tresoldi appears, a21-year-old forward who currently plays in Bruges and who has already been informally contacted to express Albiceleste's interest in joining him in the short or medium term.
The attacker has a particular story: he was born in Italy, trained as a soccer player in Germany and his mother is from Argentina, allowing him to choose between three teams. For now, he represents the German youth team and plays in the European Under-21 Championship, where he stands out as one of the top scorers
.
His presence in Belgium also positions him as one of the great European promises. With an outstanding offensive production, including goals in the Champions League against teams such as Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona, he aroused the interest of several important clubs in the continent, including
Arsenal. Tresoldi is considered one of the promises of European football
From the soccer player's environment, they assure that the decision about which team to represent has not yet been taken and that the process could be more complex than in recent cases such as Alejandro Garnacho
or Nicolás Paz.
Beyond its international future, Tresoldi made clear its personal link with Argentina. After a recent game, she said that she is a Boca fan: “There is a bit of war, because my mom is from River. For her, Argentina is very importantand at home we talk about it.La Bombonera is very nice, I love it, and so do those who played there
.”
In terms of numbers, Tresoldi played 128 games between Hannover 96 and Bruges, totaling 7,422 minutes played, in which he scored 31 goals and gave 11 assists. In addition, he won a title: the Belgian Super Cup 2025
.
With projection and multiple options on the table, the forward appears to be one of the future bets that the world champion team closely follows, in its constant search for new talent at a global level.
The other European player that is on the radar of Albiceleste Another of the recent developments regarding possible nationalizations of foreign-born players is the case of Joaquín
Martínez Gauna. “It's selectable. Seen yes, we have seen several games. He played well against Betis in the classic and is part of a list that we follow,” said Lionel Scaloni at the last press conference
.
In the case of “Bear”, as he is nicknamed, both his parents are Argentinian and immigrated to Spain because of the socioeconomic problems of 2001. His training period began in the children's divisions of Algorfa, then he moved to Kelme and Real Murcia. Thanks to his great performance, different clubs took notice of him, but he eventually ended up going to Málaga, where he spent four years before moving to Sevilla, his current club
. Joaquín Martínez Gauna is also eligible for Argentina
Despite his outstanding level, the 22-year-old left-back, who can also play as a winger for both sides, was never called up by Spain for its lower divisions or for
the major division.
He recently made his debut with the first of the Sevillian club, accumulating 1,037 minutes, spread over 16 games, in which he scored 1 goal and provided 3 assists.
