The young player Thiago Beterash, who belongs to Real Madrid and has Moroccan origins, expressed his desire to represent the Spanish senior national team in the future, amid the ongoing competition between the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and the Spanish Football Federation to decide his international status.
Beterash confirmed, in a statement to the official website of the Spanish Federation, that he is experiencing a distinguished phase in his football career, whether with his team or with the Spanish Under-19 national team, indicating that his main goal is to reach the senior national team and win titles, adding that he works daily to develop his level and progress step by step towards the top.
In a related context, the Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou interacted with this topic, where he explained in a media statement that the final decision rests with the player himself, given his connection to both countries, confirming at the same time that the doors of the Moroccan national team will remain open to him if he chooses to represent ‘The Atlas Lions’.
For his part, the coach of the Spanish national team, Luis de la Fuente, previously indicated that the young player shows a desire to wear the ‘La Roja’ jersey, but the Moroccan Federation is still trying to convince him to join their sports project before he makes his final decision.
Beterash is considered one of the emerging talents this season at Real Madrid, where he participated in several matches under the leadership of coach Alvaro Arbeloa, and caught attention with his strong performance, especially in important matches where he got the chance to play as a starter, including the match against Manchester City.
