Mexico already has a way to take revenge on the Argentine National Team in the 2026 World Cup.

After the disappointing participation in the Copa América, the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) has set to work to rebuild the team ahead of the 2026 World Cup, which they will host alongside the United States and Canada. The first measure was a radical change in the coaching staff, with the arrival of the experienced Javier Aguirre as head coach and Rafa Márquez as assistant.
But the FMF knows that the changes must go beyond that. They need to inject fresh talent, and to that end, they have set their sights on Luka Romero, a young prospect from AC Milan born in Durango, Mexico, but representing Argentina in the youth categories.
Romero shone with Argentina’s U-20 team in the World Cup for that category but has yet to debut with the senior team. This situation opens a window of opportunity for Mexico, which seeks to convince him to switch jerseys and join Aguirre’s project.
Although Romero remains a target for Lionel Scaloni, his final decision will depend on his future aspirations. Will he lean towards the Albiceleste or embrace the challenge of representing his native land?
This case is reminiscent of the recent story of Santiago Giménez, son of former Argentine footballer Christian Giménez. Despite being born in Buenos Aires, Giménez grew up in Mexico and chose to wear the tricolor jersey, leaving behind the possibility of playing for Argentina.
Romero would not be the first Argentine to join the ranks of the Mexican national team. Players like Christian Giménez, Rogelio Funes Mori, and Guillermo Franco have left their mark on the history of the Aztec team. The possibility of having a young talent like Luka Romero excites Mexico on its path to the 2026 World Cup.
