So just to get this straight...assuming he is our player...At best, he could come to us in the summer, after getting his italian passport??? If not, and he stays non-eu, then we would have to wait until january of 2012.
I am assuming the Summer, because the fifa agent chap durante, mentioned july or june...How long does it take to get a passport???Somewhere like england, maybe a few weeks, although express options are available if i recall correctly. but what about in Brazil?? Still, we have lawyers, who could surely make it move quickly...
I guess I am trying to find out :
if gaining an italian passport will take months, not days or weeks???
Can we pay for him now, and bring him over to train with us, but not play competitively until he gets the italian passport or turns 18 january of next year???
and lastly...how can we buy him before he gets an eu passport, as I thought we were only allowed ONE non-eu signing per season, or is it per year????
