Matias Soul\u00e9 clarified in an interview that he\u2019s not abandoning Argentina, despite the lack of consideration, to switch to Italy, ceasing the chatter sparked by some declarations by his agent. He also discussed his Roma future, talking with Il Messaggero<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cNothing has changed. I feel and am Argentine. I told it to Luciano Spalletti too, whom I thank. Playing for them is still my idea. Maybe my representative was a little angry when he saw the latest call-ups by Lionel Scaloni. However, no one from the Italian Federation has contacted me again. If they did, I would say \u2018no, thanks.\u2019 I know it\u2019s not easy to be selected by La Seleccion<\/em> because they have many great players. It\u2019s obviously pleasing and a source of pride that a strong and historic national team like the Azzurri<\/em> is interested, but I won\u2019t change my mind. I\u2019d like to represent the country I was born in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Soul\u00e9 also has clear ideas about his future at the club level.<\/p>\n \u201cI see myself at Roma long-term. I think it\u2019s everybody\u2019s dream to reach certain goals with this jersey. If I close my eyes, I imagine myself here for life. Then, I\u2019m aware that things can always change, but that would be my wish.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Soul\u00e9 weighed on Gian Piero Gasperini\u2019s recent remarks about the Giallorossi<\/em>\u2019s level.<\/p>\n \u201cI think he\u2019s being truthful. We\u2019re not yet Champions League-caliber, but we want to get there. It\u2019s paramount for us and our primary goal. We must not get a big head. These are only the first matches, and we just need to focus on being consistent. The Inter clash will be an important test to see where we are.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p><\/div>\n\n
