The team sees it in the short, medium, and long term in the Tri, but he has the final word
Alejandro Zendejas has the final word. The América player, it is known, has already spoken with the authorities of the Mexican Football Federation, headed by its president, Yon de Luisa, and the coach of the National Team, Gerardo 'Tata' Martino, as well as executives from the Águilas, like Santiago Baños, with the idea of aligning ideas and trying to convince him to play for the Tri.
Insiders in the conversations revealed to ESPN that the Mexican executives had a "very good approach" with the footballer in which misunderstandings between all parties were clarified. The genuine interest of the FMF in having him change federations to play for Mexico was made clear to him, a decision that apparently they believe will be positive.
An important point, according to another highly credible source, is that in the discussions to invite him to be part of the national team, the possibility of attending the World Cup to be held in Qatar was never offered.
"They will wait for the player to decide. As long as he doesn't change federations, he cannot be called up," confirmed one of our informants, who said that the meetings took place in the best of terms, as happened with Marcelo Flores, a player for Oviedo who ultimately decided to choose the green shirt of the national team, even when Canada tried to take him to their representative.
Our source assured that in the dialogue, things that cannot be fulfilled were not promised, but the parties made it clear the interest in him playing for Mexico, "his country," our informants emphasized on several occasions.
They also stated that there is no signed letter from the federations of Mexico or United States, but there is an agreement not to "attack" each other between federations that share important projects. "It is clear that the sporting rivalry with the United States is only on the field during the 90 minutes of the games," our source concluded.
Zendejas was emphasized that the Mexican National Team expects him to be eligible in the short, medium, and long term, so the next hours or days will be crucial for him to decide to change federations and choose Mexico, something they hope will happen at any moment once all parties clarified situations that could have confused the idea that Zendejas would be a valuable asset for the national team. There is a lot of confidence that Alex will choose Mexico, as they saw a good willingness from the América player to play for Mexico, although there was no decision at one hundred percent as of last night.
