Mediotiempo portal confirmed the information, and also added that according to its reports, “ the Mexican Soccer Federation streamlined the procedures before FIFA and the AFA so that the Twin can play with the Tricolor “.

Since arriving in Monterrey in 2015, Rogelio Funes Mori has scored 14 or more goals in all seasons , becoming the most lethal striker in Liga MX.

In the last campaign he added 15 goals and 4 assists in 34 matches.

Funes Mori , by 30 years old, he got to put on the Argentina jersey in the South American Sub – from 2011, in which he marked two so many. At that time I had no more than years, nor was it in an older competition. In addition, more than three years of these commitments passed, so the “Twin” met the requirements to be eligible for the Mexican team.

Everything looks like it will be the piece that “Tata” was looking for up front to accompany Hirving Lozano and Jesús ‘Tecatito’ Corona.
