Brazilian striker Amauri, of Juventus, said that he could say no to the national squads of Italy or Brazil, in the newspaper "La Repubblica."
"Brazil or Italy? I could say no to both, I don't want to become part of some auction between national squads."
Amauri also said that he came to Juventus on his own two feet as a "total unknown," and that he did not need any national squad.
Italian coach, Marcello Lippi, has already stated his interest in counting on the striker in Italy.
As for the Brazilian team leader Dunga the Juve player said that he could be called, "but if there is a great forward he won't speak of me."
Apart from this, Amauri declared that he does not think of, "opening his mouth until there actually is an official call from one or the other. Supposing there will be one."
The Brazilian striker will have his Italian passport as soon as his wife, who has lived in Italy for more than 10 years and has applied for citizenship, gets hers.
If you ask where his home is, the Brazilian doesn't hesitate: "Italy. We've discussed it a lot in the family. I think we will stay here forever.
"Also because I am a famous personality, in Brazil this can be very dangerous, in my home we eat pasta and live the Italian," he declared.
"I want to win, I've never won anything, this is my great desire," he concluded.
