The Argentina national is thinking about the future after Lionel Mess, while one of the main dilemmas is who will inherit the legendary fanele by number 10.

According to ESPN Anagentina reports, Nico Paz and Lautaro Martínez are the two candidates being reviewed by selective staff Lionel Scalon.

Como midfielder Nico Paz is considered one of the most promising talents of Argentina football, while Lautaro Martínez, who keeps the number 10 in Inter, is seen as an alternative to his experience.

So far, however, there is no official decision as to who will get the famous number.

According to Argentinian media, the number 10 will not be used in the November friendly matches of Uruguay and Costa Rica, in respect for Mess.

The iconic fanella is expected to return to use in the official matches of 2027, when Argentina can start a new chapter without its legend.
