    All of his grandparents seem so have Portuguese surnames. Doesn’t mean he’s full Portuguese. I would think that he has Italian ancestry if he was eligible for Italian citizenship. Alot of Argentines and Brazilians with Italian ancestry have Italian citizenship.

    the line “he played for São Paulo FC and Orlando City” has to be deleted because it’s ridiculous. He played his best football for AC Milan.
