Who are the most promising up & comers on the Primavera squad? Also, which on them are on the youth national teams on their countries?

none that i'm aware of; that doesn't mean Juventus can't produce players,but rather that only outstanding talents get eventually drafted for the Prima Squadra.
ther are plenty of good professional football players in serie A and B coming from the Juventus youth system that are/were just not good enough to play with the big boys; you can't fabricate a champion

The defender Gastaldello has played for Italy U19.

Don't know of any others.

Also, Gasbarroni, Sculli and Brighi (all owned by Juve, the first 2 being former primavera players) have been called up for Italy U21.

Great, thanks. I just saw that Bonnefoi was called up. Thanks for help on the others.

Who is the "biggest" name out of the existing Primavera squad?

I read in World Soccer today that Zeytulaev, the primavera midfielder from Uzbekistan, has made some appearances for them at the full national team level. I know Uzbekistan are a decent team in Asia, so he's certainly a player to keep an eye on.
