The Spanish magazine Diarioas reported on the 14th (Korea time) 'Colombia is persuading Mosquera to join and has guaranteed his participation in the North-China World Cup finals' Mosquera was born in Alicante, Spain, to Colombian immigrant parents. He has played for Spain's national team by age, but has not yet been selected for the senior national team. In addition to the Spanish passport, he is known to have a Colombian passport.
Citing local media in Spain, the British daily Daily Mail reported that `This is not the first time Colombia has offered Mosquera to join the national team,' adding that `he also proposed Mosquera to join the national team in 2023, but he chose Spain's Under-21 national team and served as captain.'
Mosquera, who was called up for the first team in 2022 after passing through Valencia Youth Team and B Team Mestaya, quickly secured the main position with an outstanding performance. Ahead of this season, he entered the English Premier League with a total offer of 20 million euros (about 33 billion won) from Arsenal. Arsenal are also rapidly adapting and expanding their position. Therefore, he is also a player who is constantly mentioned as a candidate whenever it is time to call up the Spanish national team.
Despite this, the reason why he is not called by the Spanish national team is because of the harsh competition environment. In addition to veterans such as Robin Le Normand (Atletico Madrid) and Aymeric Laport (Bilbao), newcomers Dean Heisen (Real Madrid) and Pau Kubarsi (FC Barcelona) appear in the Spanish national team's defense line led by head coach Luis de la Fuente. Mosquera, who has already proven his talent in the national team by age, is still not at De La Fuente's eye level.
Colombia succeeded in advancing to the finals in third place in the South American qualifying round for the North-China World Cup. He scored 28 goals in 18 games, showing the second-best scoring ability in the qualifying round, but conceded an average of one goal per game while allowing 18 goals. Luis Díaz (Bayern Munich) and James Rodriguez (Clubreon) are holding on to the offense, but the weight is relatively low on the defense line. If Mosquera joins, these weaknesses can be covered at once.
