    Here are some of the key players on the current U-21 roster which is nearly qualified for next summer's European championship (which will also serve as Europe's Olympic qualifying tournament):

    Marco Amelia - best keeper in Serie B this season at Livorno. Expected to be snapped up by a topflight team in the near future.

    Daniele Bonera - defender - Parma. Already has 3 full national team caps. Rumored to be targeted by Milan.

    Andrea Gasbarroni - wing - Sampdoria. On loan from Juventus. Has stated he wants to stay with the Genoa side in Serie A next year rather than sit on Juve's bench.

    Gaetano d'Agostino - creative midfielder - played for Bari in Serie B last season, co-owned with Roma. The two sides are battling to own his full rights; if Bari wins the bidding war, they are expected to sell him to Juventus.

    Giuseppe Sculli - striker - scored 8 goals for Modena this season on loan from Juventus. Just shipped (50% at least) to Chievo as part of the Nicola Legrottaglie deal.
