Overview

• Soulé previously told Italian staff he feels Argentine, closing the door at the time on naturalization for the Azzurri.
• His agent’s recent “everything is possible” remarks revived media chatter and prompted betting markets to price a potential Italian debut, though this remains speculative.
• FIGC leaders, including president Gabriele Gravina, are not considering him for selection unless he decisively changes course soon.
• The 22-year-old holds an Italian passport and is still eligible for Italy under FIFA rules because he has not played an official senior match for Argentina after being an unused substitute in September 2024.
• Coach Rino Gattuso is actively evaluating other cases, having scouted Honest Ahanor and Nicolò Tresoldi, and has not spoken with Soulé.
