Foot: Frenchman Robin Le Normand would have asked for Spanish nationality to play with La Roja

Robin Le Normand, author of a very good season in La Liga, has never been called up by Didier Deschamps in Blue. AS claims that the Real Sociedad defender has started the process to obtain Spanish nationality. But if he also obtained Spanish nationality, he could also honor the French selection, which has never pre-selected him for the time being. With the international retirement of Raphaël Varane, a place has become available in the central defense of the Blues. “As I have often said, the selection (note: French) is a goal. I’m working hard to be called somedayhe confided to Eurosport. My non-convocation for the 2022 World Cup? It was hard. Especially after Presnel Kimpembe’s injury. Of course you think about it because I was coming out of a season where I had done things well. At that moment, you say to yourself why not. But these are Didier Deschamps’ choices and it’s up to me to show more to be called up in Blue».

A source from the Spanish federation, however, told AFP that it seems difficult that Robin Le Normand can be naturalized in time to be called up during the international window at the end of March, where Spain will have to face Erling’s Norway. Haaland and Scotland in qualifying for Euro-2024. “I really thank Spain for the opportunity it gave me, through Real Sociedad, to play for professionals, an opportunity that I did not have in France. (…) But I am French and I feel that way, and my goal is to play with the French selection, which is my selection“, had however affirmed the defender at the end of October in the Spanish sports daily As.
