Inter could soon need to register more club academy graduates and Italian-trained players as the FIGC may change the rules, according to a report in the Italian print media today.

As has been reported by Tuttosport today, there could be some changes at the end of the transfer market regarding the 25 players that each Serie A club registers with the FIGC.

Clubs currently have to register four players who are from their own academy and four that were trained in Italy, even if another club. 

For the 2023/24 season though, the figures could be upped to five of each in order to force more usage of Italian youngsters in the first teams of top-flight clubs. 

It is a proposal put forward by the AIC. If it is accepted, an evaluation will then be made to see if for the 2025/26 season, it should be raised to six of each. The Federation first wants to understand if this tool will really serve to push clubs to use more Italian players.
