Romania coach Eduard Iordanescu admits there's fears of losing AC Milan Primavera captain Andrei Coubis.
The 19 year-old also qualifies for Italy.
Iordanescu told Digi Sport: "There's the risk of losing him, he grew up elsewhere and has a different mentality. I put him on my shortlist, in November we were close to getting him accepted but now it's time to put the things in order, we have priorities like dealing with those players who form the nucleus of the national team.
"I don't think it's right to rush someone on their debut just for the risk of not losing them.
"Things like this have been done, but while I'm here I won't have thoughts like this. I don't want to deceive anyone."
