Furch: “I would love to wear Mexico’s jersey”

In a Mexican fútbol scene that doesn’t provide many attacking options for El Tri, Santos Laguna’s Julio Furch is one that player that has stepped up to voice his desire to one day play for Mexico, despite not being Mexican himself.

“No, truthfully [Mexico] has never approached me. I’ve been here for four years now and I do not know the naturalization process, but if they approached me I would think about it, because it would be a great option. As far as the Argentina national team goes, I see that option very far. Maybe they do not even turn to Mexico, and having another option would be very good for me.
