Jonathan Gonzalez confirms intention to represent Mexico national team

The 18-year-old midfielder represented the U.S. at the youth level but is now set to play for El Tri

The documents are yet to be sent, but Mexican-American midfielder Jonathan Gonzalez has confirmed his intention to file a one-time switch with FIFA and represent the Mexico national team.

Gonzalez had played for the U.S. at the U-20 and U-17 levels but has not worn the Stars and Stripes since his breakout Apertura with Monterrey that saw him earn a starting role in the middle of Rayados' midfield in a season that saw them make Liga MX final after finishing first in the regular-season table.
