Sebastian Giovinco's camp insist the new Toronto FC signing can still play for Italy.

The former Juventus midfielder has joined TFC in the prime of his career.

"No, why? If he merits it, Antonio Conte will select him," Claudio Pasqualin told TMW, who together with his son Luca and Andrea D'Amico look after the interests of the Atomic Ant.

"Sebastian is part of the Azzurri, the goals scored in Los Angeles with all respect are worth more than those made at Empoli or Sassuolo.

"It is legitimate to point to the European Championship."
