Genoa defender Alessandro Marcandalli, 21, is undecided on which national team to represent—Nigeria, through his mother or Italy, where he was born. Despite making his Serie A debut this season and having represented Italy’s U20 team, Marcandalli is yet to commit to either side. He admires Nigeria’s rich culture but feels pressure from both nations. With Nigeria’s ageing defensive lineup, the Super Eagles may benefit from recruiting him for the future.
