translated from Spanish: Lucas Passerini could wear the Red?: Agent revealed contacts with the Chilean Federation

Argentine striker Lucas Passerini, a former Palestino player and today at Necaxa, claimed to have been contacted by the Chilean Football Federation to learn how the nationalization procedures are going. Diego Braga revealed that they are very close to obtaining nationalization for the 26-year-old battering ram and that it is closely followed by the surroundings of Reinaldo Rueda for perhaps a future ‘Red’ nomination, thinking about the Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifiers and the 2021 Copa America.” Lucas’s intention to be Chilean is intact, for something he is doing everything to achieve it. Moreover, we were called from the Chilean Federation to see how the issue of nationalization is going,” the attacker’s representative told La Cuarta.” Which speaks clearly that the selection technician is looking at it. As I told you, we hope that before the end of the year the footballer can already be Chilean as soon as possible and thus be called up to the Chilean national team,” he added. The procedures for nationalization suffered a brake in recent months, due to the coronavirus pandemic, since the player’s grandmother, who lives in Argentina, must do the diligence with the documentation.” Lucas had to do a paperwork in May to get citizenship. Her grandmother had to travel from Argentina to sign a document enabling her grandson. However, the issue of the pandemic left everything in the air, because the borders were closed. We hope that Lucas’ grandmother can travel before the end of the year to Santiago so that the footballer can finally obtain the nationality document. It’s a process that can’t be done from Argentina,” Braga concluded.
