Real Madrid striker Mariano Diaz is anxious to play for Spain and switch his international allegiance from Dominican Republic. The striker returned to Real Madrid in August after a year at Lyon, has only one international cap to his name for Dominican Republic, whom he qualifies for through his mother.
That appearance, a 3-1 win over Haiti in which he scored, was a friendly back in March 2013, meaning his international future is uncertain because he has not featured in a competitive match.
The forward player is yet to play for Madrid this term and failed to score in his three Ligue 1 appearances prior to the transfer, therefore a snub by Luis Enrique for Spain's recent games against England and Croatia was not a shock.
But Mariano is now planning on breaking into Spain squad, with Diego Costa, Iago Aspas and Rodrigo Moreno among those ahead of him in the pecking order.
When asked if he saw Spain in Nations League action, by reporter, Mariano said: Yes, I did see it and of course I dream of Luis Enrique call.
