His maturity on the field, combined with a notable goal-scoring efficiency, makes him a forward to watch closely for the 2026 World Cup process. If he maintains his level in France, the Córdoba native could turn his dream into a real possibility of wearing the albiceleste jersey. "It's the maximum that can happen to you," stated the Córdoba-born attacker. However, the Racing Strasbourg star clarified that so far, no one from the coaching staff led by Lionel Scaloni has contacted him or his circle. During his brief stint in France's Ligue 1, the Córdoba native played only 12 matches and scored 9 goals, a figure that made him the top scorer in the championship, with former Manchester United player Mason Greenwood trying to catch up. At just 23 years old, Joaquín Panichelli represents one of the most promising young Argentine talents in European football. "The national team is always a dream for any football player, even more so for an Argentine," Panichelli concluded when referring to his dream of wearing the albiceleste jersey. Although his name is not yet on Scaloni's radar, the former River Plate youth player backs his illusion with outstanding numbers. The forward Joaquín Panichelli has officially made himself available to join the Argentina national team squad for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. "I'm having a good present."
