Enzo Copetti is in the United States, more precisely in Charlotte.
The 27-year-old forward revealed in the last hours that his name is in honor of the Uruguayan Enzo Francescoli,
he recalled when he rejected the possibility of putting on the Boca shirt and gave clues as to what his fate could be if he returned to the country.
Many are the footballers who are called Enzo by Francescoli.
To give examples,
Enzo Pérez and Enzo Fernández
bear that name because of their parents' admiration for the former Uruguayan soccer player and current manager of the River Plate institution.
He also the son of
Zinedine Zidane
.
A new member is added to this list: Copetti.
"My name is Enzo for Francescoli, all my family is from River"
, he acknowledged.
A few months ago, the one that emerged in Atlético Rafaela was one of Racing's main attack figures and weapons.
With Avellaneda's team, he played 96 games and scored 31 goals.
His performances caught the attention of Charlotte FC, who paid $6,300,000 gross for the striker
.
When asked about a possible future return to Argentina, he made his priorities clear:
"If I return to Argentina, River would be my first option, but if Racing appears I would think about it a little more
. "
His name sounded for the Millionaire set, but it never ended up being something concrete.
"There was something about River there, but I don't believe what they said. They talked about there being no money, but then they brought another striker," were his words when asked if he had ever received to put on that shirt.
What is clear to him is
that he would like to finish his career at Atlético Rafaela
, the team in which he made his professional debut and where he began to show his first weapons.
In the Cream, which plays in the First National, he played 54 games and scored 6 goals.

On the other hand, he told when he received the call from Boca to find out if he was interested in joining the La Ribera club, but he expressed that he rejected that possibility.
"They called me from Boca and I told them no
," he mentioned.
And he added: "In Boca and In Independiente I would not play."
Although of course, Copetti's adventure in the MLS is just beginning.
He has a link until 2025 with his team, where in his first 6 games he managed to score 2 goals.
The truth is that, if at some point he decides to return to Argentine soccer, he has already set his priorities, it will be necessary to see if when the time comes he can fulfill his wishes.
