Khaberni - Press reports have confirmed that despite the names "Thiago" and "Junior" being associated with the Argentine and Portuguese jerseys, strict Spanish laws and the nature of upbringing open the door to seeing the sons of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo side by side in the "La Roja" jersey.
Account TCR reported via X: "Both Cristiano Junior and Thiago Messi may play for the Spanish national team in the future".
Thiago was born in Barcelona in 2012, making him a Spanish citizen by birth and eligible to represent Spain, but Argentine reports confirmed that Thiago wants to play with the Argentine national team".
Thiago is currently training at Inter Miami Academy, and the Argentine federation is closely monitoring him to include him in "Tango" youth projects, just as they did with his father when Spain tempted him long ago and he refused.
As for "the Don's" son, who was born in California and spent many years in Madrid, his legal status is more complicated, but his athletic choice seems clearer since he officially started representing the Portuguese national team under 15 years old, wearing the number 7 jersey, and even contributed to international victories like the wins against Japan and Croatia.
