Reports indicate that Barcelona striker Luis Suarez is close to moving to Juventus, the Italian soccer champions, to lead the team's attack with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, which raises a question about how he dealt with the team captain, Giorgio Chiellini, the Italian defender, who was bitten by Suarez in the 2014 World Cup match.
Media in Italy and Uruguay reported that Suarez, 33, will take a language test on Monday as part of his pursuit of Italian citizenship, to be able to move to Juventus, who has been seeking to join him since Barcelona announced his abandonment.
But the dilemma facing Juventus is that it has reached the maximum number of players coming from outside the European Union, by signing Brazilian midfielder Artur Melo and American international Weston McKinney, and he will only be allowed to join Suarez if he obtains an Italian passport.
Reports said that Suarez is eligible to obtain Italian citizenship because his wife is an Italian citizen, although it is not clear how this process - which usually takes several years - can be completed within one month.
The program "Polideportivo" on Uruguay TV as well as Italian newspapers said on Sunday that Suarez will sit for the B1 exam on Monday in the Italian language, which is considered an intermediate stage, which is the minimum required.
The new season begins in the Italian league on September 19, but the transfer window will not end until the fifth of next October.
