Argentine soccer legend Lionel Messi has reached the age of 36, and his career seems to be coming to an end. Over the years, there have been a number of players who have been dubbed the "new Messi", but their light has often been short-lived, as in the case of Luca Romero, who bears a striking resemblance to Messi. The Argentine starlet played in La Liga at the age of 15 and set many records that Messi could not match, but his brilliance did not last, and in recent years he has been reduced to a "human ball", and this month he is even facing the fate of being abandoned by AC Milan.
Luca Romero, 19, is only 1 meter 65, but has a similar build and playing style to Lionel Messi. He tried out for the Barcelona youth team, but failed to stay. However, this did not cover his light, Luca Romero in Mallorca youth team made 108 appearances, scored 230 goals, debut in La Liga at the age of 15 years and 219 days, becoming the youngest debutant in the history of the European five leagues.
In the summer of 2021, Luca Romero became the youngest player in the team's history to play when he joined Russell at the age of 16 years, 9 months and 10 days, and in November 2022, he became the first "post-04" player to score a Serie A goal when he scored the only goal of the match to help Russell beat Monza 1-0.
However, Lazio did not choose to keep this "genius", but instead let him move to AC Milan as a free agent last summer. In the pre-season warm-up match against Real Madrid, he came on as a substitute and scored a world-winner, showing the potential of the future king of the ball. When the whole world thought that Luca Romero would be the real successor of Messi, AC Milan coach Pioli did not use him, only 5 times in various matches, the accumulated playing time is only 155 minutes.
