There have been many rumors in Italy linking Gianluca Lapadula (owned by AC Milan, currently on loan to Genoa) playing for Peru and going to the WC - he has a Peruvian mother and has been approached by the Peruvian FA in the past.

Massive carrot for him right now with the WC only a few months away. He held out in the past but he is now faced with a difficult decision. Go with Peru now, or wait for the next Italian NT coach to be announced to find out where he sits within the team.

Bags of talent, but if I were him I'd go with Peru in a flash.

Damn, I could have sworn he played competitively for Italy before this. Just searched it up, played against Germany and San Marino (scoring 3 goals) but they were friendlies. Anyway, I agree he should 1000% go for Peru - he'll never have another season like the one he did for Pescara and he's a bit over the hill now. Still a pretty damn good player but it's a choice between having a one or two-cap career with Italy or be a star with Peru.
