The Greek FA has admitted it will call up Olympiakos striker Nery Alberto Castillo.
The player is at the centre of a three way battle for his international allegiance, with the Greeks, Mexico and Uruguay all eligible for his services.
The 22-year-old has spent the last 6 years in Greece, but was born in Mexico and raised in Uruguay.
After drawing the attention of Chelsea this season, the player has shot to prominence must now decide on where his international future lies.
It is believed that representing Greece is Castillo's first option as it would allow him easier access to move to one of Europe's bigger leagues. A problem he has dealt with in the past.
As a youngster, Castillo was denied the chance of joining Manchester United because he could not obtain international clearance.
A Greek FA official confirmed their intention to select the forward in the near future.
"If Castillo is going to give us a positive answer, he will play for the national team much earlier than you expect," said the unnamed spokesman.
"Maybe he will play for us at the qualification game against Turkey at Karaiskaki Stadium on March 24."
Greece boss Otto Rehhagel is believed to have told officials to secure the player as quickly as possible and is seeking to speak with the player himself to learn of his intentions.
