kjc2006 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I was just reading about Luis Suarez and noticed this "Suarez flew to Perugia to take an Italian language test which he passed, in order to obtain a citizenship." I wonder if this is the sort of thing that could be holding up the deal. I know he wouldn't be going for citizenship, but could it be possible that he needs to pass a language test to be allowed to work in Italy?

Presumsbly he is now classed as Non EU so there will be more hoops than before. Love how this story panned out 😁 Italy 🇮🇹 - you got to love it! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/world-europe-54250454 He has now agreed to move to Atletico.

Glamorgan Jambo Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Has to be said that it's taking a heck of a long time for a couple of 'administrative issues' to be resolved. probably because they are way more complex and substantial than any that can be afforded the title 'administrative issues'.

He went on to make a total of 32 appearances in a maroon shirt and scored one goal, which was the winner in a 2-1 victory against Hibs at Easter Road in September 2019. The club wishes Aaron every success with the next chapter of his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1953 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 So it appears to be a proper transfer and not the loan with options that was quoted earlier. Celtic will get their sell on fee but at least we've got some decent cash for a guy who was always going to move on for free after this season.
