Last I heard there he was still without permission to play over here - the club are trying to sort him out with an Italian passport.

Passport holds key as Lucas Leiva waits to join up with LiverpoolJul 14 2007
by Chris Bascombe, Liverpool Echo

LUCAS Leiva will finally join the Liverpool squad next week - providing the Reds can secure his European passport.

Leiva kicked off Rafa Benitez’s summer spending before the end of last season when a £5m deal was agreed with Brazilian club Gremio.

However, the move was dependent on the 20-year-old acquiring the necessary documents allowing him to play in England, and the Reds reserved the right to cancel the transfer if they couldn’t secure the player’s eligibility.

Liverpool have been working for the last few months to secure an Italian passport for the player. Benitez is hopeful all the documentation will be in place over the weekend, allowing the youngster to join the squad at their Swiss training camp.

"We expect Lucas to be able to join us in Switzerland," confirmed the manager.

This was the last I read about his passport - so not sure if he has got it yet.

if he doesnt actually hold the passport yet he certainly has what he needs to get one. no doubt he will be a red next year, and a great plaer he is also trust me

Have the squad numbers for the coming season already been allocated ? When did that happen and what are they ? Has Reaina taken the number 1 ?
