JAKARTA - Jordi Amat is a player who has been poor across European football. He has defended a number of clubs in La Liga and also the English Premier League.

The player who was born in the Catalan Canet de Mar district in 1992 was in the Swansea City uniform in the Premier League competition. While in La Liga, he has struggled with Espanyol, Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis.

The player who plays as a centre-back also plays for the U-16 to U-21 national age group. However, he has never managed to enter the senior team during his 14-year career.

Never had the opportunity to defend the Spanish national team and then made him want to negotiate to become an Indonesian citizen. The decision was made because it had an Indonesian derivative line from his grandmother.

"I am strengthening the Spanish national team in all age groups, but I always know about the possibility of becoming an Indonesian citizen through my grandmother. Last year, when I was in (KAS) Eupen, I respect that option and we started negotiations," Amat told Marca, as reported by The Sun.

Amat memiliki darah royal dari pertamanya yang merupakan kedagangan Siau. Hal itu otomatis membuat eks bintang Premier League itu menjadi putra crown di Indonesia.

"My grandmother told me when I was a child that I was the crown prince of an area in Indonesia and now we are waiting for them to give me the document to ratify the title," he said.

Jordi Amat admitted that he never thought he could quickly get Indonesian citizenship through the naturalization process of footballers.

The process of obtaining Indonesian citizenship from the 30-year-old player is short, starting in 2021. He then officially became an Indonesian citizen through the oath process at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights on Thursday, November 17.

"This is a process that seems to take more than expected even though in the end it only takes one year. For other colleagues, for example, it will take seven years to get citizenship," he said.

Currently he is included in the Indonesian national team squad and made his debut in the ongoing 2022 AFF Cup. In total he has made two appearances so far from three matches.
