Luka Romero, footballer for Mallorca and known as the mexicano Mexican Messi ’, will have to wait to make history in Spanish football as the youngest player to debut in First division with 15 years and 224 days.
This Friday he sat on the bench of the Balearic team in the draw (1-1) against Leganés in the Mallorca Visit EstadiBut he was not even seen warming up in the band, as he did last day in Villarreal.
If the coach decides to count on him in the next Mallorca matches in the fields of Real Madrid and the Athletic, Luka will overcome a record of football precocity that is held by Francisco Bao Rodríguez ‘Sansón’ from the 1939-1940 season. Bao played with him Celtic his first game in Primera with 15 years and 255 days.
Luka was born in Durango (Mexico) on November 18, 2004, her parents are Argentine, and she has been playing for Mallorca since she was 10 years old.
He is compared to MessiBecause the Barca star is left-handed, skillful in dribbling, he has the ball stuck to his feet and scores many goals (88 in his time in the Formentera pre-benjamines).
Featured with the Argentina U15 team In the last South American championship played in Brazil and Mallorca, it takes care of the jewel of its quarry so that history does not repeat itself with another canterano, Marco Asensio, who with 18 years signed for Real Madrid.
Luka has been training since the beginning of June with the first team and has had a good time with the Colombian “Cucho” Hernández and the Japanese Takefusa Kubo, two of the figures in the vermilion ensemble.
Moreno believes that his young star “You have to leave it alone” so that it burns stages little by little, without rushing it, although it has not ruled out giving it a chance in the next games either.
