The FFF does not let go of Eliesse Ben Seghir

In recent weeks, Morocco has acquired two new dual nationals. After several months of negotiations, Walid Regragui decided to summon Brahim Diaz. The Real Madrid player had chosen to miss Spain to play for the Atlas Lions. A strong reinforcement welcomed like a star during the last break. But the 24-year-old midfielder is not the only one to have chosen Morocco during the last gathering. This is also the case for young AS Monaco talent Elyesse Ben Seghir. Brilliant in the youth categories of the French team, the 19-year-old midfielder was considered one of the biggest talents of the 2005 generation. Of Moroccan origin, he finally decided to play for his country of origin. few months ago. “ I'm very proud of it. I made this choice based on my roots. Both my parents are Moroccan. And the roots prevailed. The FFF tried to keep me, but I accept this choice and I go for it. Why wait when you know what you want? », had launched Ben Seghir to justify his choice.

Since then, he has made his first two appearances against Angola and Mauritania in friendly matches. And proof that the FFF cannot digest this loss, according to our information it is still trying to convince him to represent the Blues. The player has only played two friendly matches and can therefore still change selection. The French football body is increasing its contacts to try to make him change his mind while there is still time. Enough to convince him? In any case, time is running out for the FFF since Ben Seghir will play two official matches with Morocco next June (World Cup qualification) if he is called up. And at that moment, a change of selection will be impossible.
