Yossi Benayoun is very close to get a Spanish passport. Since his parents are from Morocco he had the right to apply after 2 years only in Spain, and it looks like the process is almost done. The meaning is that this will open a lot more doors for Benayoun. In Spain you can only use 3 non-EU players, and having a Spanish passport means more top teams will allow themselves to have a look at him without wasting any of their 3 spots.
Giovanni Rosso is also very close to become an official Israel citizen. A bit late as far as the National team is concerned but this will give Haifa the chance to use 5 foreign players without giving up on Rosso. Rosso deserves the passport of course, but it's not like Haifa really needs it.
