    Donnarumma, Meret, Locatelli & Kean were on last years List so they don't need to be added.

    About Italy, surely we have some wonderkids didn't added yet.

    Gianluigi Donnarumma, GK, Milan 18
    Alex Meret, GK, SPAL (on loan from Udinese) 20

    DEF

    Alessandro Bastoni, CD, Atalanta, 18
    Davide Calabria, FB, Milan, 20

    Daniel Maldini is turning 16 this year and is know to be a great talent - typical number 10 playmaker. He lead AC Milan U16 to victory in the Italian championship with 5:2 against Roma in the final game.
