Current Argentina Coach Edgardo Bauza mentioned that he was considering Vazquez among others, and this prompted a response from the player.
“I feel Argentinian,” he told El Grafico. “When I had the chance to play for Italy, the former Argentina Coach had shut his doors to me, and that's why I accepted to play for them.”
Vazquez's only game for the Azzurri to date remains a 1-1 friendly against England in March 2015.
His father is from Argentina, but his mother is Italian.
