Camoranesi reveals Italian desire

Trapattoni has reportedly been close to calling up the Buenos Aires-born star over the past few days, however as yet nothing has been decided.

Camoranesi has revealed he was expecting to hear from Argentina coach Marcelo Bielsa regarding a call-up for the Argentine squad, but has not ruled out playing for Italy.

"I didn't believe all these stories that I've heard in the press saying that I was going to be called for the Italian National Team, and to say the truth I was expecting a phone call from Marcelo Bielsa for the Argentinian team," said Camoranesi.

"Besides that, I would be very proud in having the chance to dress such a glorious t-shirt like the Italian way.

"This country made me famous and gave me the chance to be someone in football. I will have only have to resolve some personal details here in Italy and then I would be in condition for playing."
