Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli has not ruled out playing for Italy and the Arsenal starlet hinted that “nothing has been decided”.
The 18-year-old has scored eight goals in 19 games across all competitions for the Gunners this campaign and Azzurri CT Roberto Mancini won’t rule out a call-up for the attacker.
The player admitted his “dream” is to get a call-up to the Selecao, but his Italian passport gives him the option to choose.
“I am Brazilian and my dream, of course, is to play for Brazil,” he told DAZN Brazil.
“But I could also play for Italy and nothing has been decided.
“I haven’t received a call from Brazil yet…”

Brazil needs an out and out no.9.
That's true. If Tite has recently tried out Wesley of Aston Villa, Barbosa of Flamengo and even Richarlisson at no9 it clearly indicates Firmino and especially Gabriel Jesus have their limitations. Martinelli has his place in this team.

Hard for him to choose, whichever country come to him first will decide it. In this case, Italy will have hire chance.

racist are everywhere not all Italians are racist
Very true, not all Italians are racists, but it would appear their government who represents the people of Italy are, therefore Italy is racist as the government like the English government do nothing about racism, in fact the UK elect them to their highest office.
