Mateo Del Blanco: Inter Miami move or Scaloni’s radar? The truth

In recent hours, the name of the young Unión prospect, Mateo Del Blanco, has been making waves in the transfer market. Amid rumors placing the left-sided midfielder/defender in the orbit of Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami, journalist Darío Pignata provided exclusive details on Radio Gol 96.7 to clarify the situation both at the club and national team level.

Inter Miami and Contact with Mascherano’s Circle

Pignata revealed that there was communication with Leandro Stillitano, current assistant coach to Javier Mascherano for the U-20/Olympic National Team and someone familiar with the scouting work of the Florida-based team. The response from the technical staff was clear:

No advanced negotiations: Contrary to reports in other media, Stillitano confirmed that Inter Miami does not currently have Del Blanco on their list of priorities.
Standard monitoring: While the American club closely follows Argentine football and acknowledges the good level of Unión’s youngster, he is not currently being considered as an immediate reinforcement option.

The Argentine National Team: A Name on the “Watch List”

Regarding a possible call-up to the senior national team managed by Lionel Scaloni, information obtained through direct contacts with the coaching staff (specifically with video analyst Matías Manna) indicates the following:

Under analysis: Mateo Del Blanco’s name was indeed brought to the coaching staff by Manna, who has a long-standing connection with Unión.
Player to watch: The “Tatengue” footballer is considered a “player to watch,” forming part of a broad group of young talents being monitored for their potential.
No call-up in sight: Pignata denied that there is a call-up planned for the short term. For now, it is standard monitoring based on his recent performances.
