They compared him to Lionel Messi, he made his debut against Real Madrid and now plays in the Third Division of Spain

In the world of football, it's very common for the great promises of various clubs to be compared with Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo in the same way that they were classified as the "new Diego Maradona" or "the new Pelé". In that sense, last year a very particular situation was experienced with a young man who was born in Mexico, raised in Argentina and has lived in Spain for a couple of years, whom everyone loved for his selection.

Luka Romero didn't need to play in the elite to be known worldwide. Before debuting, he was disputed by several selected ones (he finally chose the Argentine for his father) and at the time of making his presentation he made history: he was the youngest player to step on a playing field in La Liga with 15 years and 219 days. In June 2020 he made his debut against Real Madrid and everyone thought that from that moment on he would only accumulate sporting successes, but little by little he was disappearing. So much so that he hasn't been summoned for several games and his future seems far from Mallorca.

The coach assures that he doesn't summon him for a sporting matter, considering that at his young age he needs to progress at a short and firm pace. However, in the middle there are some paper problems: he turned 16 and did not sign a professional contract (allowed by law from that age) with the club where he has been since he was 10 years old.

Although both the attacking midfielder and the institution stated that they have no intention of negotiating with another club, the delay in putting the hook keeps him as a free player, with the pass in his power and at zero cost. From this situation, several powerful clubs in Europe flirt with the chance to acquire his services.

Although the Palma club's at the forefront of the second division in Spain with 60 units, five behind its Almería escort, there are several dates left for the definition of the tournament and uncertainty grows practically daily.
