Will Spain soon field a 100% French hinge? In any case, coach Luis de la Fuente has the possibility. The successor to Luis Enrique, after a failed World Cup, could already count on Aymeric Laporte, naturalized before Euro 2021. He can now rely on Robin Le Normand.
The central defender of Real Sociedad is now binational, after obtaining Spanish nationality on Tuesday, noted brand. Arrived anonymously in the summer of 2016 in the San Sebastián club, the 26-year-old former Brestois has completely passed under the radar of the FFF unlike Laporte.
Meeting against Italy?
The current Manchester City player, revealed at Athletic Bilbao, has played for all the young French teams but never with the A’s, despite a few summons.
After several very solid seasons in La Liga, Le Normand (who is actually a Breton from Côtes-d’Armor) has also expressed his desire to play for La Roja, for lack of a phone call from Didier Deschamps.
This wish should be granted from the final stages of the League of Nations, according to several media across the Pyrenees. Spain will challenge Italy on June 15 in Enschede (Netherlands). And if the two Frenchmen found their compatriot Rayan Cherki in front of them, whom Roberto Mancini would particularly appreciate?
