Juve-Suarez, the primary obstacle remains terminating Barcelona contract: no concern over passport issue

Juventus remains at work on the deal to bring in Luis Suarez, despite the obstacle to overcome: termination of his contract with Barcelona. Suarez and the club are working on a solution to satisfy both parties. Another possible issue, the lack of an EU passport for the striker, given Juventus having used up all of their spots for foreign players: however Suarez has begun the procedure to obtain one.

Whenever the contract issues are resolved and an agreement with Juve is found, with a work contract in Italy it would become easier for him to obtain a passport, and one could arrive in 15 days. Therefore the passport issue is not seen as a critical one from Juventus' sights.

The issues to overcome is related to severance pay that Suarez is asking for from Barcelona, and that would allow him to leave the club. Juve meanwhile waits on news on the Roma-Napoli front for Milik, which has completely shut down currently. With Milik at Roma Dzeko would be free to move elswhere. Juve is monitoring both situations in order to sort out their attack.
