Isn't he already capped for Italy? If he only has a slim chance to make any future squads, that's harsh for Peru.
He's been called up but never officially capped. I think he said he wants to play for the Azzurri tho. It's all about his choice
Nicolo Barrella and Lorenzo Pellegrini should be competing for spots in the middle for the Azzurri for the next several years..
It's because he's getting his chance, and not having too much pressure put on his shoulders either. The rotation that both Gattuso and even Montella before him are using is helping to get these young guys adequate playing time without having the pressure of carrying the team on their shoulders at a young age.
Gianluca Scamacca (Sassuolo owned) with 5 goals in the last 2 games to qualify Italy for the u19 Euros
Yeah, he developed hugely in the 2 years he was there. 2 goals vs Greece March 21 3 goals vs Poland yesterday
Crazy to think the first TOP PROSPECTS list was created 4 years ago. Without further ado: March 25, 2018 TOP AZZURRI PROSPECTS GK Alessandro Plizzari – 18 Simone Scuffet – 21 Alex Meret – 21 Gianluigi Donnarumma – 19 CB Daniele Rugani - 23 Alessio Romagnoli - 23 Mattia Caldara - 23 FB Davide Calabria – RB - 21 Emerson Palmieri – LB - 23 Andrea Conti – RB - 24 Antonio Barreca –LB – 23 Federico DiMarco – LB – 20 M Lorenzo Pellegrini – 21 Nicolo Barella – 21 Rolando Mandragora – 20 Wingers Federico Chiesa – 20 Riccardo Orsolini – 21 Daniele Verde – 21 ST Moise Kean – 18 Patrick Cutrone – 20 Pietro Pellegri - 17 Gianluca Scamacca - 19
Former Italy international Enrico Chiesa, is saying his son Federico is a great prospect but his younger son Lorenzo who plays for Fiorentina's youth team, is even better! Here is a picture where Federico hugs his younger brother after a his goal yesterday. Chiesa segna ed esulta abbracciando il fratello Lorenzo
He has been really good this season. Also Mandragora has looked pretty good, the Juve match was probably his worst performance this year

This is an awesome list...thank you fo compiling it. In your opinion besides Scalvini, are there any highly rated CB's on the horizon? I fee like that is our weakest position moving forward. We have Bastoni and Bonucci has probably one last cycle but after that the cupboard is pretty bare. Romagnoli should get more playing time at Lazio as well as hopefully Casale. Ferrari at Sassuolo is 29 so not much from him as far as 2026 World Cup. Hopefully Gatti a Juventus takes off especially now that DeLigt is gone. There's a huge gap of Italian CB's right now.
If you tell me the name you prefer I can look it up for you However, I see that you are a Milan fan, so while your Primavera, U18 and U17 categories didn't seem anything special to me, in the U16 (Diego Sia and Diego Scotti) and U15 categories there is a lot of material to work on. Especially in the U15 in my opinion there are various good players like Carlo Ossola, Ernesto Perin Emanuele Sala, but the most interesting are Francesco Camarda (born 2008) and Mattia Liberali (born 2007). Let's start with the youngest Francesco Camarda, this is what a friend of mine wrote about him watching the U15 final against Fiorentina " what to say about him, despite being under age, the difference was absolutely not felt, on the contrary, in the first half thorn in the side of the purple defense, thanks to his speed, skill in jumping the man and movements of a true attacker, where thanks to a clever movement without the ball he managed to score the goal that earned him the championship with a header. Despite his very young age, every time he touched the ball he gave the impression of superiority, physically he is well formed, with time he can really become a striker that we will hear about him, but he can still be more impactful in a match, he has to work shoulder to shoulder. door, in the second half he was a bit hidden, he was unable in the moment of difficulty to help the team, doing that shoulder work to the goal that for an attacker from my point of view is fundamental, in doing so he can touch even more balls and affect even more, also because technically there is and that kind of work also to clean those dirty balls could easily do it, maybe it was only this game where he found more difficulties in these aspects but if he needs to improve in something I say in this, but we are really talking about a talent to grow in the right way, prospects are really important." It must be said that in recent years he has scored (483 goals in 87 games) and this year under age he has scored 22 goals in 25 games now I'm talking about Mattia Liberali and I'll start with what my friend wrote about him in the final. "Technically the most gifted in the field, attacking midfielder with excellent technical skills, fast, slippery, quick in the short, with a good shot and good skills in the last pass, always alive in the match, he went several times in pressing to annoy the first purple carrier, he gave his all yesterday also showing a lot of humility in the non-possession phase, a footballer even with personality he gets the ball from his teammates and they know that at any moment his play can change the match, if he grows up physically and continues in its growth path will be able to have its say also in the future." I, who have been following the Italian youth national teams since 1990, have not seen a similar player since Totti's time at the 1993 U17 World Cup, a truly interesting talent. Of course we are talking about two children and their future will depend on how they grow both mentally and physically, but if I were a Milan fan I would pray to God to hope that they develop in the right way. I put some videos Second leg Milan-Roma U15 semi-final (highlight) U15 Milan-Fiorentina final (highlight) Mattia Liberali at the U15 Nations tournament Liberals in the final won against the Czech Republic 45.20 he gets rid of three opposing players and only the fourth stops him in desperation 54.26 It bypasses the pressing of 2 opposing players
Speaking of central defenders we are placed quite well, in the list I made I did not put the U21 category (2000-2001), but as central defenders we have Caleb Okoli (2001), Matteo Lovato (2000) in the 2002 category we have Lorenzo Pirola ( Inter) Christian Dalle Mura (Fiorentina) Mattia Viti (Empoli). Going down as years We have Fabio Chiarodia (werder Bremen 2005) and Filippo Caixe Manè (Borussia Dortmund 2005), Edoardo Sadotti (Fiorentina 2006), Cristian Garofalo (Napoli 2007) and Francesco Verde (Juventus 2007). As you can see on a numerical level the names are there, but already with a pair Bastoni-Scalvini we are in place for the next 10 years, it is a little more problematic at the level of the right-backs (even if we have Cambiaso of Genoa which promises really well)
In Italy there is a lot of talk about Simone Pafundi (2006) from Udinese I must say that I saw him play very little, but everyone talks about him well, among other things he played 3 years under age in the "Primavera 2" championship and Napoli tried to get a right to buy from Udinese, but Udinese refused
I agree.. the right back is a little more thin. We should have Calabria for 5-7 ish years.. but after that not much other than Cambiaso and Zanoli i think might be interesting. I know he moved to Inter but im not a big believer in Bellanova.. but maybe he proves me wrong. For CB's.. we can add il muratore Federico Gatti to the list. While he is 24 and has never played a single minute in Serie A... he played very well vs England in the nations league game.. and showed why Juventus bought him last January.
