I don't see where is the problem. His mother is Spanish and his father European. So welcome. By the way, his mother is Pérez which is not a Catalan family name. Its Catalan counterpart would be Peris, which is common in Tortosa, Castelló and València.
We'll see how much he sticks to his Serbian side, now that the independentist Republican Left is supporting and celebrating the unilateral decision of Kosovo Albanians, to secede. The islamo-socialist-independentist gang.
We have had plenty of Croat players here too, like Davor Šuker, Robert Prosinečki or Goran Vlaović.
The only change here from tradition is that when a man and a woman from different places marry each other, she leaves her family (or village, town, region, nation) to be adopted by the family (etc.) of her husband. That's why the tradition is to celebrate the wedding in the village of the bride, as a symbolic farewell. Which I believe it is a widespread tradition throughout Europe.
So much so that in many countries the wife loses her family name to adopt her husband's family name.
