Van Persie is not in the Morocco national team squad.

Shakil Van Persie, a forward for Dutch club Feyenoord and son of former star Robin Van Persie, has been increasingly mentioned recently amid reports of Moroccan attempts to persuade the young player to represent the "Atlas Lions" in the future, leveraging his Moroccan roots from his mother’s side.

While media reports have discussed efforts by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation to reach out to the 19-year-old player, “Hesport” learned from a reliable source that the reality on the ground is different, as there have been no official negotiations or communications between the Moroccan side and the player or his entourage so far.

The same source revealed that national coach Mohamed Wahbi has not yet initiated any communication channels with Shakil Van Persie, either directly or through his representatives and family, which refutes claims of any active movement to secure the player's position for the Moroccan national team.

This absence of action, according to the source, is due to Wahbi not having reached a complete conviction regarding the young player's technical skills, leading him to prefer monitoring his development before taking any official steps.

Thus, the talk about the possibility of Van Persie donning the Moroccan national team jersey does not currently rest on any confirmed official communication.

Shakil Van Persie is considered one of the promising names at Feyenoord, where he plays as a central forward, and he has previously represented the Netherlands at the under-17 level, participating in six matches this season.

Despite his previous ties to Dutch youth teams, this does not preclude the possibility of his choosing to represent the Moroccan national team in the future, according to the regulations governing the eligibility of dual nationality players.
