The Codacons, a collection of unions established in Italy to protect the rights of consumers, is attempting to sue Luis Suárez for his “assault” on Giorgio Chiellini.

Legislation in Italy allows trials into incidents that occurred outside the country if the victim is an Italian citizen. Codacons President Carlo Rienzi has spoken to Sport Mediaset.

“Now we are waiting to see what the courts decide. If they recognise, as we suggested, a potential crime in Suarez’s behaviour, then they can analyse the video and photographic evidence.”

Gareth Barry has joined Everton on a permanent basis, the 33 year-old has agreed a three-year contract after leaving Manchester City. He spent last season on loan at Everton and was impressed.

“In terms of a whole season, last season has to be one of my best - the performances the team put out, the club record points total in the Premier League, the big wins, there were so many positives.

“But that is last season. Now we try to improve on that and if we do improve then we are going to be going to some very good places.

“The whole squad is always so keen to learn and never satisfied. From the manager right through the coaching staff to the players, everybody wants to improve.

“We will have to treat this season with respect - it is going to be very different with the Europa League and there are a lot more games.

“But I’m sure the manager will have his plans for that challenge ready and I’m looking forward to it.

“It is good to be in the dressing room alongside so much young talent and whilst they are young, they are ready now and that is fantastic.

“There is a lot of experience here already and if I can add something to that, it is great.

“It is [going to be] good to get back to training on Thursday now I’m signed.”
