Agent says AC Milan striker Maxi Lopez could play for Italy

The agent of AC Milan striker Maxi Lopez says he never lost faith in his ability.

Maxi flopped at Barcelona before eventually landing at Milan last month.

"He was sure, sure he'd get back to that level. He wanted to get into a great team, wanted AC Milan and has always wanted to play for this team," said Andrea D'Amico.

"When the opportunity was proposed he waited, was patient and eventually was rewarded. Although we are at the beginning of this adventure we can say that it was worth it."

D'Amico also revealed: "He has a double passport, has played with the National U-20 Argentina team but this will not prevent him possibly choosing Italy."
