Luis Suárez, the stages of the case: citizenship and negotiations with Juventus, which later abandoned him. Now research on the Italian exam

Alvaro Morata to visit the J Doctor before signing a new contract with Juventus. While from Perugia comes the news of the investigation opened by the prosecutor that defines a “farce“L ‘Italian test Supported by Luis Suarez to get the citizenship. It is the last stage of a story that only until last Thursday had to have a epilogue completely different: on September 17, after finishing his test at theUniversity of Perugia, the Uruguayan striker prepared to wear the black and white sweater. “Exam he organized well, not the smallest details Juventus itself, ”he wrote. La Gazzetta dello Sport on September 19. Having obtained Italian citizenship, watch Suárez play alongside Ronaldo me Dybala it seemed like a formality. Then the sudden change of scenery: Juve announcing the player (still on Barcelona) that is no longer interested and goes back up Edin dzeko. So the decision to make borrowed the former Morata ofAtletico Madrid, the same club that would have bought Suárez in his place: following news of the investigation, however, rumors of a braking in negotiation.

Interest and pull – The new Juve of Andrea Pirlo, born in early August, quickly needs a new center forward: Gonzalo Higuain “He was a great champion but I the cycles end“Says the new coach on August 25 during his first press conference. Suárez’s option arises a few days later: Barcelona needs to rejuvenate and put his number 9 on the door. For Juve it is the perfect opportunity, bureaucratic hitch: Suárez is not a community. Each Italian team has at their disposal two slots outside the EU– You can have two players on your squad who are not citizens of one of the countries that join the European Union. Juventus, however, has already occupied them with the purchases of Arthur (Brazilian) e McKennie (American): therefore for Suárez There’s no space.

Why the Italian exam – The hitch arises because the forward in Spain play as a community. Suarez, however, does not have an Italian or Spanish passport. He would have the right: his wife, Sofia balbi, as his three children have Italian citizenship by direct descent. In fact, Balbi is the grandson of Friulans. Suarez, however, never applied for citizenship because in the Spanish league the husband of a citizen of the community is automatically recognized as such. In A league No. Furthermore, as of 2018 Italian law establishes that for an application for citizenship linked to marriage it is necessary to approve Italian test. That’s why Suárez needed to study our language to get to Juventus.

The process continues, then the sudden stop – Despite the obstacle, the negotiation of the transfer market Follow. The proof is precisely the fact that Suárez appears on September 17 Perugia. Normally, the process to obtain citizenship comes to last 4 years, but obviously the bianconeri are convinced that they will be able to close the practice at the beginning of October: the 2020 transfer market closes Monday October 5. The version of the club changes precisely in those days: always La Gazzetta dello Sport talk about doubts about Fabio Paratici for the “long times” of the process. Pirlo needs a forward immediately, he explains, so it is better to “free” Suárez: Dzeko On Saturday he sits on the bench in the debut match of Rome, now seems to be one step away from the bianconeri.

Morata’s election and the news of the investigation – Juve won their debut with SampdoriaOn Monday everyone is waiting for news about Dzeko and in his place is Morata. The return of the Spanish striker to Turin on loan from Atlético de Madrid is packed in a few hours: 10 million for the first year and another 10 for the second, with the ransom set at 45 millions. Officially, the Juventus club turns to Morata because they are nervous about the delays in the negotiations for Dzeko: before selling him, Roma await the arrival of Belong to from Naples. From Madrid, Juve finds instead Maximum availability: Atlético actually have Morata’s replacement ready. It’s Suarez. Today the Spaniard takes the plane and arrives in Turin for the medical examinations and the signature. Instead, from Perugia the details of the investigation emerge: according to the researchers’ hypothesis, there was an agreement to take a test with answers already agreed and with a final note settled down already before the test. While the Madrid-Barcelona axis cools: in the end Suárez could even stay in blaugrana, with his friend Messi.
