Would reintroducing the foreigner rule improve league football (not international football)?

The issue I see is that this gives a lot of advantages to countries where it is easier to obtain citizenship.

In Spain you can get citizenship after 2 years of legal residence if you are from Latin America or Portugal. Since it is a Spanish speaking country that makes it easy for Spanish speakers to be citizens, it would be the obvious choice for most Spanish-speaking players.

Make it country of origin?

That could complicate things.

The country where they spent their football development years perhaps ?
