Álvaro Montoro identified as potential Argentina talent
Álvaro Montoro, the 19-year-old midfielder for Botafogo, is gaining significant attention as a potential talent for the Argentina national team. During an appearance on the ‘Market Values’ podcast, Marcos Watts, the regional manager for Transfermarkt in Brazil, highlighted Montoro’s technical evolution and versatility.
Watts noted that Montoro’s ability to play as both an attacking midfielder and on the wings, combined with his exceptional ball control, makes him a standout player. Despite Botafogo’s recent struggles in the league, Montoro has secured a regular starting position.
With Lionel Messi approaching his departure from the Argentina national team, experts suggest Montoro could be a candidate to eventually occupy the vacant number 10 role. Montoro recently extended his contract with Botafogo through December 2030, and his current market value is estimated at €14 million.
