The only player we bought out of Italy, without an EU passport, is Martin Caceres, no-one else.

So i don't understand what do they mean by releasing a non-EU player to open up a spot. When you buy the players, by non-EU they only count those brought to the team from out of Italy, that don't have an eu-passport.
But what do they mean by a non-EU when we're releasing the players?

Again only those who were bought as non-EU players or all those without an EU-passport?
you lost me here Alen

why is magath saying he is going to be a juve player and secco is denying it? it just seems fishy. he says we made an offer, secco says were not interested, magath then claims he will be a juve player, secco denies it once again. just odd

The second option, I think. This rule apparently was made to preserve Serie A from becoming "non-EU" too quickly, so if we relase another non-EU player abroad, then we can sign two of them instead of one. In either case, we increase the total number of non-EU players in Serie A only by one.

Well, look at it this way:

1. We bought Almiron, who doesn't hold an EU passport, from an Italian team, and that's why he doesn't count as a non-EU player in our books.

2. But lets say we sell him now. He still doesn't hold an EU passport, but he didn't take a non-EU spot when we signed him.
So if we sell him will we open up a non-EU spot or not?

Good point, but i think he will not free one up, as he is not taking one at the moment

Yeah, that would be logical.

If you are bought from an Italian team, you do not take up a non-EU space in the team, no time limit

Only those non-EU players that were bought outside of Italy. Caceres & Sali (unless he holds German citizenship) are the only ones I can think of right now.

There used to be a limit of 3 non-eu players on the field at any one time, right. And 5 in total in the squad. :inter: used to get around it using fake passports though if I'm not mistaken. But now there is no limit which isn't a good idea in my opinion. Makes it too easy for teams to play all non-eu players. If Caceres does count as a signing, then we could still get Rafinha right now if we offload Amauri before he gets his Italian papers (but that's not happening).

Of course it's not happening. We're not crazy to let Amauri go just so we could sign some RB from Schalke. :)
