Spanish player Álvaro Fidalgo has surprised everyone by changing his stance on the possibility of wearing the Mexican national team jersey in the future.

Ahead of the Clausura 2024 Liga MX Final, where his team América will face Cruz Azul, the midfielder has hinted at the possibility of naturalizing and playing for Mexico.

A Change of Heart

During a media reception, Fidalgo was one of the most sought-after players, not only for his performance at the club but also due to speculations about his future at the national level. A few months ago, he dismissed the idea of naturalizing, stating his dream was to play for Spain. However, in a recent interview with journalist David Faitelson, Fidalgo revealed a change of perspective, now considering the option of playing for Mexico.

“I’m not closing the door entirely. One knows that being here, it’s difficult to reach the Spanish national team. In fact, their midfield is the best,” Fidalgo said. His response made it clear that while his heart is with Spain, he doesn’t completely rule out playing for Mexico.

Focused on the Final

Despite the buzz caused by his comments, Fidalgo preferred not to delve further into the topic, emphasizing his focus on the upcoming final against Cruz Azul.

“It’s difficult, but I don’t know, I don’t like to talk much about the future. Right now, I’m focused on América,” he concluded.

A Look at His Career

Álvaro Fidalgo, born on April 9, 1997, in Siero, Asturias, began his development at Real Oviedo and solidified his skills at Real Madrid Castilla. After stints with Rayo Majadahonda and CD Castellón, he joined América in 2021, quickly becoming a key player for the team.

His intelligence on the field, passing ability, and leadership have made him an indispensable player.

A Promising Future

With the potential to join the Mexican national team, Fidalgo could bring his vision and technique to Mexico’s midfield, becoming a pivotal figure for the team.

The final decision is yet to be made, but his openness to this possibility has generated great excitement among fans and football analysts.
