We&#8217;ve heard the news and speculation statement, but we haven&#8217;t had anything from the Italian authorities at the moment so we&#8217;re in limbo really waiting for that official confirmation to come through.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think there&#8217;s a high chance he could be available for us.
