Ibagaza applies for Spanish citizenship

Lawyers for the player will submit an application to the Spain's Department of the Interior to have Ibagaza become a dual Spanish-Argentine citizen.

His efforts to complete his citizenship application has been delayed after some documents the midfielder possessed had expired.

Ibagaza's lawyers state that the 26-year-old can retain both nationalities for only a year.

'El Sewer' joined Mallorca in 1998 from Argentine club Lanus following the recommendation of current Internazionale boss Hector Cuper.

He has made 115 appearances in La Liga - scoring 15 goals during that time - and earned himself a winner's medal in the Spanish Supercopa two years ago.
