Mario Mitaj is shining with Albania and is close to a big transfer, as the 20-year-old from Lokomotiv Moscow could be transferred to Juventus soon.
Mitaj recently gave an interview to the Russian newspaper Sport24.
From the Russian journalist, he was asked about his nationality, as he was born in Athens and plays for Albania. “Albanian”, replied Mitaj.
“The fact that I was born in Athens does not make me Greek. I have many friends there, I speak Greek and I love this country for the opportunities it offered for me and my family.”
“But I love my country Albania more. I am a patriot of my country. When I see the Albanian flag and communicate with my compatriots, I am filled with a sense of pride”, said Mitaj.
He was transferred to the Russian club from AEK Athens in 2022.
He has already played ten matches for Albania, while he is constantly shining and is seen as one of the main players who will represent the Reds and Blacks at Euro 2024.
