Luis Suarez is one step away from joining Juventus. If you pass the Italian language test and get a Piza country passport, the attacker nicknamed El Pistolero will immediately be inaugurated as a new Juventus striker.
For your information, the issue of citizenship is an obstacle why Suarez hasn’t joined Juventus yet. According to the rules of the Lega Serie A (Italian League competition operator), each team in the Italian League is only allowed to use three non-EU players.
Incidentally, Juventus already has three non-EU players at the moment, one of them is Danilo Luiz (Brazil). Therefore, how can Suarez defend Juventus?
The Uruguay passport striker must have a European passport, in this case Italy. Therefore, it is planned that Suarez will visit the Italian consulate general in the city of Barcelona, Spain, today, Monday (7/9/2020).
Suarez visited the consulate general to undergo a series of tests, one of which was Italian. Tests were carried out so that Suarez could get an Italian passport. Suarez’s chances of getting an Italian passport are quite big. This is because Suarez’s wife, Sofia Balbi, has an Italian passport, considering that her ancestors came from Piza.
Suarez is fortunate that both Uruguay and Italy allow a person to hold dual nationality. This is different from Indonesia, which only recognizes one nationality.
Therefore, Suarez only needs to take care of administrative matters to continue his career with Juventus. Apart from dealing with the problems above, Suarez is also busy breaking his contract with Barcelona.
Suarez and Barcelona are scheduled today to discuss the termination of employment contact, which is still binding on them until June 30, 2021. If Suarez’s contract is terminated, Juventus can get Suarez for free.
According to the Tuttomercatoweb report, Juventus and Suarez have reached an agreement. Later, Juventus management signed Suarez for two seasons. In each season, Suarez receives 10 million euros
This nominal value makes Suarez listed as the number two player with the highest salary at Juventus. Suarez only lost to Cristiano Ronaldo who earned 30 million euros per year from the Old Lady.
