What happened?
Curaçao national team coach Remko Bicentini hopes to convince Jürgen Locadia to choose the Caribbean island nation. Locadia was born to a Curaçao family and has an alternative.
Why is this important for Curaçao?
Curaçao can use Locadia, thinks Bicentini. If you want to perform at a tournament like the Gold Cup, you need guys with a certain baggage, who are used to playing at a certain level.
What comes next?
In April 2017, Locadia stated that it was 'not an option', but now a international career with Curaçao seems like a serious option. Despite Brighton paying sixteen million euros to take Locadia from PSV in January 2018, he has to settle for substitute appearances.
