The midfielder Juri Cisotti (32 years old) impresses in the Superliga lately. He had evolutions appreciated in Otelul, and in winter, he is a basic man at FCSB. The Italian could be a solution for national, if FRF is involved in the process of obtaining citizenship.
The footballer brought to Romania by Steel would have to wait a year and a half until he could submit the documents to take his citizenship. The legislation provides for a foreigner to spend 5 years on the territory of Romania, but in the case of footballers there is the possibility that the process is accelerated.
How can the Cisotti juries be become eligible for the Romanian national
Mihai Stoica, FCSB official, explained that there is a provision that would allow Juri Cisotti to obtain citizenship faster.
“It has no citizenship, but it can be obtained if you are less than 5 years old. He must meet a condition, need the country. If FRF considers it to be of national interest Juri cisotti …
He has half a year in the 3rd League with Steel, one year in Liga 2, one year in Liga 1 and this year. Is 3 and a half years old. If you want FRF, without problems … ”, said MM Stoica at Primasport.
- This season, Cisotti checked, at Otelul and FCSB, 38 matches. Scored 8 times and offered 6 decisive passes. In the play-off, the Italian had extremely praised benefits and was involved in 7 goals (4 successes, 3 decisive passes) in 7 matches.
At the national team, Cisotti would have serious competition on the post. The holders for “tricolors” are now Nicolae Stanciu and Răzvan Marin, the two being hardly removed from the start formula.
If this scenario were happening, Cisotti would become the second naturalized stranger to play at the national, after the Portuguese Mario Camora. And it would be the second of the FCSB group that files the documents for citizenship. Which would help the red-blue ones to fulfill the 5+6 rule, as Risto Radunovic does after receiving the documents.
“Risto is almost Romanian, it works on it. It will help us. If it becomes a Romanian citizen, it will help the 5+6 rule. We will still have a Romanian in the field,” added MM Stoica.
