Former Marseille player Maxime Lopez could defend the colors of a country other than France.
Maxime Lopez is 26 years old and for the moment he has not yet had the chance to play for an international team. His ambition was to defend France, but the call from the Tricolors never came. Today, he is considering another option.
Maxime Lopez ready to cross the Mediterranean
Speaking to the media “Le Carré”, the former Marseillais recognized that playing for his second country, namely Algeria, was a possibility. “I thank the Algerian people for their support and for the messages I receive on social networks. Many ask me to come play for the Algerian national team. I have Algerian origins, from Bejaia in particular. However, I have not received any calls or requests from the FAF. »
The Fiorentina member therefore opens the door for an adventure with the Fennecs. If he is selected, he will follow in the footsteps of other dual nationals who have recently joined the ranks of double African champions such as Amine Gouiri, Houssem Aouar or Rayan Ait-Nouri.
Note that if he has never played for the A with the Blues, Lopez has, however, worn the tunic of the hopes and also of the under-20 tricolors. It was Ludovic Batelli who mainly called on his services.
