Luka Romero, Born in Durango (Mexico) and international Sub 15 with Argentina, chain seven consecutive games without being part of the summoned list of the first team of Mallorca, leader of the SmartBank League.
The “pearl” of the vermilion quarry, who last season became the youngest player in Spanish football to debut in the First Division at 15 years and 219 days, was mentioned for the last time last January in the visit of the Balearic team to Rayo Vallecano.
Since then, Luka has played with the Majorcan subsidiary, of the Third Division, circumstance that It coincides with the club's negotiations with its representatives for the renewal of its contract.
“In no other club will Luka be better than here, He is very young and he was put in the shop window very early. I do not summon him because at the moment (the team is playing direct promotion to First) there are many players ahead and the experience is a degree “, García responded to a question about the reasons for the exclusion of the young South American talent from the lists.
Mallorca tries to retain Luka offering guarantees that he will be an important player in a very short time -García sees him as the starter at 18-, but also his managers they are aware that other “big” teams have it in their orbit.
As Efe learned from sources around the player, Luka's renewal with Mallorca is “neither far nor near”, and that the will “is trying to reach an agreement.”
Remember that Luka is a free player, no contract is tied to him, and was able to leave the island last January. He did not do it, waiting to know the proposal of the club to which he arrived with 10 years.
Romero's sports career, who is compared to his compatriot Leo Messi, had its peak last year when making its debut in the First Division in a Real Madrid-Mallorca at the Alfredo Di Estéfano stadium.
This season, the few minutes he has had he has used very well.
In fact, his first goal as a professional with the vermilion shirt – in the victory against Logroñés in Son Moix – was a great invoice.
But, has been losing prominence and has not been part of the list of summoned for two months.
The club have limited themselves to confirming the negotiations undertaken with Luka's representatives to sign his first professional contract with Mallorca.
The footballer's father, Diego Romero, refused to comment on the future of his son on the island: “That exclusively concerns their representatives”, he told Efe.
