The Tunisian football team has very weak chances in the competition race to include the young player for the Dutch Feenoord team Ayman Al -Selti (18 years old), who caught the attention in the past few days, coinciding with the first team, under the leadership of coach and former international star Robin van Persie.
A source close to the Tunisian Football Association revealed in a statement to “Al -Arabi Al -Jadeed” today, Monday, that those responsible for the “Eagles Carthage” team have recently received data that the Seliti does not have the fully desire to play in the Tunis shirt, and it is only looking to represent the country of his mother, the Netherlands, which confirms that the Tunisian Federation may permanently dismiss this player in the future. The source admitted that the Tunisian Federation did not search for progress in negotiations with Al -Seliti for several reasons, the most important of which is that the team needs experienced players at the present time in order to uproot the qualification card for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, while the Selti is still in the process of proving himself in the Finance squad, and has not yet shown any interest in carrying the Tunisian national team shirt.
The spokesman confirmed to “Al -Arabi Al -Jadeed” that Al -Siliti feels that he is a Dutch, despite his Tunisian origins in relation to his father, since he was born in the Dutch city of Henglo, and he lived there all stages of his studies and led his beginnings in the world of football, which explains his desire to strengthen the ranks of the Netherlands I, after he played for all Sunni groups, and he currently belongs to the “Touaqin” team under 19 years, that is, one step from the team the first. Accordingly, the source indicated that the Tunisian Federation will not put the Selti among its priorities in the coming period, while negotiations between the two parties may return in one case, which is the player’s retreat from his current position, which is a very difficult hypothesis, coinciding with the Dutch welcoming his emergence with the first team, when he played his first match in the Champions League against Inter Milan in the final price, before scoring his first goal in the Dutch League, specifically against FC Tofitti, Sunday.
