Cagliari goalkeeper Elia Caprile has also become an Albanian citizen. The decree was published today. The granting of dual citizenship is linked to the fact that the player's partner is Albanian. Regulatory doubts remain as to whether Caprile will be eligible for the Albanian national team, now led by former Cagliari coach Rolando Maran . Caprile has already been called up to the Italian national team, but has never played. This could theoretically allow him to answer Albania's call-up. But, despite the stringent FIFA rules, the goalkeeper has always wanted to continue wearing the Azzurri shirt. A goal that, thanks in part to his strong performances this season, could be achieved with Roberto Mancini 's next call-ups. Caprile's name wasn't on the coach's latest call-up list. But the Rossoblu goalkeeper still hopes to persuade the European Championship-winning coach to change his mind .
