According to a report by the Spanish newspaper "El Mundo", the Moroccan Football Federation is making significant efforts to persuade Thiago Pitaras, a rising star from Real Madrid, to join the national team of the "Atlas Lions" instead of representing Spain. The 18-year-old midfielder has garnered attention for his impressive performances, which have sparked international interest from both Moroccan and Spanish football authorities.
Thiago Pitaras has been living a dream at Real Madrid, showcasing his skills on a grand stage. The Moroccan Federation aims to convince him to don the colors of Morocco, especially given that his grandfather was born in the Moroccan city of Al Hoceima. However, despite Morocco's attempts, it has been reported that both the player and his family have a clear preference for his international future, with a focus on representing the Spanish national team.
Furthermore, the Spanish Football Federation is expected to include him in the under-21 national team, which indicates their intention to secure his international commitment early on. This development comes shortly after the young talent's standout performance against Manchester City, where he truly shone on the field. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Morocco can sway his decision or if he will continue his journey with Spain.
