"My dad is from France, my grandparents are from Cameroon and my mum is from Mexico. But my prioirity has always been to play for 'El Tri,'" said Maleck, 18, in an interview with 'Juan Futbol.'
The Porto player, who arrived in Europe from Santos Laguna in Mexico, is not hoping for a Mexico call-up. In just six games for his new Portuguese club, he has scored twice and grabbed one assist.
Maleck is one of football's up and coming youngsters who could don a Mexico jersey in the near future.
