Luis Suarez

[FCBarca]

He can no longer run, that's the problem, his legs have gone.

Either it's a consequence of age or poor training, unclear which or if a combination. In theory, Simeone likely could light a fire under him because his quality is undeniable

One of the best strikers on the planet no question, I just think age has caught up with him, he has played at the highest level for a long time.

Couldn't he simply have resided in Spain for two years and requested Spanish citizenship because is from an Ibero-American nation?

Apparently we've been listed as one of the clubs he cannot join if his contract is to be terminated so he can leave on a free.

It would end up in a pile of toxic mess.

I believe John Aldridge and Paul Merson has the same problem, with English

The Ibéro-American route is 2 years residency that he surely must meet unless there are detailed requirements to actually not be out of the country on a specified number of days. Alternatively, the residence application may take several months which rendered the Italy citizenship route as preferable to get an Italy move which is now unnecessary because he wants Atletico because he’s a language exam cheat.

Série A has some byzantine non-EU player rules. There’s a limit on non-EU transfers in depending on how many non-EU players are already registered, being sold etc. Quotas can though be traded I understand to complicate stuff further. Can’t actually find a definitive set of rules in English but suffice to say it seems the citizenship application was necessary to play for Juve this season.[/QUOTE]
