12 years after arriving in Italy, Juan Jesus announced that he had obtained Italian citizenship. He did so on social media, also explaining his bond with our country: “Today is an important day for me. In 12 years, Italy has given me everything: work, love, friends and family. Here I found my life , my destiny and my future. I saw and admired the Alps and the islands, the cities, the art and the beauty. I lived in Milan, in Rome where my son was born, and now I wake up looking at the wonder of Napoli. With this shirt I won a scudetto and realized a dream that will remain in my heart forever. I am grateful for what I experienced, I am eager to experience these emotions again and tremendously proud to announce that from today your country is also a little bit the. After many years I have obtained Italian citizenship. I promise to continue to love and respect your Constitution and your history as I have always done in my homeland, where I was born and raised. Thank you Italy!! Juan Jesus – from today also Giovanni Jesus”.
