It was on October 1, 2003 when Marcelo Flores was born in Georgetown, Ontario, Canada.
It currently has 18 years old, and due to his skills on the ball, he is expected to be called up by coach Gerardo Martino.
According to information on the portal Transfermarkt, Marcelo Flores has a market value of 600 thousand euros.
This amount is modest and due to his talent with the round, in the next few months it could reach a million euros.
While it is true that he has been seen performing functions as a center forward, the reality is that his natural position is as an attacking midfielder.
Likewise, you can also do work as a winger, both left and right.
Many fans have wondered why he did not debut for any team in Mexico. The answer is due to the issue of his parents.
Marcelo Flores was born in Canada; her mother is Canadian of English descent, while her father is Mexican.
Her father is Rubén Flores and at the time he was the coach of the Cayman Islands women’s team.
Marcelo was in the Cayman Islands and was invited to a training session at Ipswich Town. From there they were amazed with his performance and he began to try his luck and then join Arsenal.
Due to his nationality and ancestry, at the time he was nowhere near being part of the Canadian team.
However, at 16 years of age, Marcelo Flores decided to opt for Tricolor, although there was also a rapprochement with the English team.
Because his father, the Mexican Rubén Flores, was also a footballer, the player’s two sisters, Tatiana and Silvana, decided to follow in their father’s footsteps.
Today they are Arsenal and Chelsea players, respectively.
In 2020 the Arsenal team did not miss the opportunity to extend the Mexican’s contract.
It was through his social networks where Marcelo Flores published an image at the signing of the contract, which expires in 2023.
Due to the bad moment that the Mexican team is going through, much has been speculated about its possible call to the Tri mayor.
Although not everything is rosy. And it is that the coach Gerardo Martino is used to summoning renowned and proven elements, so seeing Flores with the national team looks far, at least not at this time.
In the lower Arsenal he has played a total of 29 games, scoring a total of 10 goals and cooperating with 5 assists.
Likewise, he begins to make a difference in the Aztec team, and last Saturday he was key to the 2-1 victory against Brazil.
His main soccer skills include dribbling, speed and hitting the ball from medium distance.
Marcelo Flores is a 1.63 tall footballer. He is not burly and this helps him to be slippery with the ball at his feet.
