| Amauri delays Azzurri decision |

Amauri has delays in getting his Italian citizenship and is tired of the Italy-Brazil debate. “We'll talk when someone calls me.”
The Brazilian Juventus star has hinted he would play for the Azzurri if his homeland did not bring him in for international duty.
However, the option may not be open to him, as there are delays in his wife's citizenship process due to some missing paperwork.
“In these days I have read and heard many things that are simply not true,” said Amauri.
“For this reason, I have no intention of leaning either way. When I receive the call from one of the national teams, and only then, will I make a decision.
“I will get back to talking about international football later on, but for now I am focusing only on Juve. I cannot say what will happen.”
Marcello Lippi had hoped to call Amauri for the February friendly against Brazil at the Emirates Stadium in London, but that now seems very unlikely.
