The wife of Juventus striker Amauri wants to see the Brazilian commit to Italy.

"Which national team should my husband play for? I'd prefer Italy to Brazil," Amauri's wife Cynthia told Sky Sport.

"I would like to become Italian too. We have to wait but they told me procedures are going well. I could have earnt my nationality long ago since my grandfather has Italian origins. If only I had known, it would have been so important now."
