Andrea Compagno, a decision to consider for Roberto Mancini – The striker could even debut in the preliminary matches of Euro 2024

Italy play England (March 23) and Malta (March 26) in their Euro 2024 qualifying group and Roberto Mancini is eyeing Andrea Compagno as an attacking option.

In an interview with ilmessaggero.it, the coach of the Italian national team listed the reasons why Andrea Compagno made this list and what attracted him to the Italian top.

“I have been following him for two years. Always play and score. I called him up to the extended lineup, and then we’ll see what the situation will be.

Problems in the attack are serious. Immobile is wounded, perhaps Raspadori too. There are big question marks. Most of the centre-forwards have played very little in recent months.

We don’t have a starter, apart from Gnonto, who is developing a bit more at Leeds and can also be used as a centre-forward.

Otherwise, we are in a difficult position. Even Scamakka is recovering from injury and Belotti is playing a bit. In the center and in defense we have solutions. We have problems in attack, but not because we don’t have talent, but because they don’t play.” – said Roberto Mancini.

In the current edition of the Super League, Andrea Compagno shares the top scorer title with Marko Dugandzic, the striker of Rapid Bucharest.

Both have scored 16 goals each in this league season and will feature in the playoffs.
