Gabriel Martinelli has not ruled out playing for Italy in the future as the 18-year-old weighs up his international options.
The Brazilian striker has an Italian passport, and whilst he admits it his 'dream' to represent Brazil, he told DAZN Brazil that he is keeping his options open at the moment.
'I am Brazilian and my dream, of course, is to play for Brazil. But I could also play for Italy and nothing has been decided.'

To those who say Martinelli will have no place in the Brazil team seem to forget: since 2006 that nation has never had a wide range of choice among top class strikers. Robinho & Fabinho flopped in 2010, Fred and Jo were a ridiculous pairings in 2014. and by all accounts Jesus is not world class yet and neither is Firmino. With new class Rodrygo, Vinicius and Reinier, Martinelli can revive the Real Brazil.
