Wilson Gonzalez of ABC Cardinal, a Paraguayan news source, is reporting that the Argentina-born winger is in the process of switching national teams in order to play for Paraguay. Villalba’s father is Paraguayan and the 23-year-old has never been capped for the Argentina national team, making him eligible for the change.
Además de "Kaku" Romero Gamarra, también Héctor "Tito" Villalba del #AtlantaUnited estaría tramitando su nacionalización.
