Liverpool are set to reignite their transfer pursuit of Diego Godin after the Uruguay international defender won Spanish citizenship. Atletico Madrid have already sold a number of their best players this summer, with Diego de Gea having moved to Manchester United and Sergio Aguero seemingly set for Man City. Godin may well join his former team-mates in the north west of England then, as well as his international colleague Luis Suarez at Liverpool. Suarez is believed to have extolled the virtues of life at Anfield under Kenny Dalglish, and as a result the central defender signing Liverpool fans have craved could soon happen. The 25 year-old has won 47 caps for Uruguay, scoring three goals in the process, and having gained Spanish citizenship will not require a work permit.
I would have thought getin spanish citizenship would make him MORE likely to stay in Spain, as he would be off Atleticos overseas quota. If he signed for us , hed be classed as overseas whether he has a Spanish or Uruguayan passport or both
