Two goals and three assists in the first six league games: Matías Soulé’s start to the season speaks for itself. Despite missing a penalty against Lille in the Europa League, the Roma playmaker is increasingly central to Gasperini’s project, showing steady growth and top-level performances. These numbers and personality, however, have not yet persuaded Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni, reopening an interesting possibility: a call-up from Italy’s national team. "Anything is possible right now," stated the player's agent, Martin Guastadisegno. Luciano Spalletti had already attempted to persuade him to wear the Azzurri shirt, as Soulé himself stated: "He wanted me for Euro 2024, but the priority at the time was Argentina". The situation, however, could change. "Matias is the only young Argentine who hasn't yet been given a chance", his representative remarked. "He's emerged as a leader in a huge club like Roma and deserves a shot. He wants to play in the World Cup". While the Albiceleste remains the top focus, the possibility of a call-up from Italy is becoming more realistic. "Soulé is Italian-Argentine, so the possibility of a call-up to the Azzurri exists", according to Guastadisegno.
