Ukrinform
KYIV, March 25 /UKRINFORM/. FC Shakhtar Donetsk striker Luiz Adriano is ready to replace Brazilian passport with the Ukrainian one, sport.segodnya.ua said, quoting the Velyky Football television show (Great Football).

"For my part there is no problem. I discussed this with my wife, and she agrees with me. Ready to change Brazilian passport into the Ukrainian. Believe that it would be nice if the initiative came from the head coach and the Federation. I need to know that Ukraine team needs me. This would be good, then I would not have been an overseas player, thus a strong foreigner could join Shakhtar," Adriano.

The 25-year-old forward has played at the Donetsk side since 2007 (186 games, 79 goals).
