Of those 25 players, at least two must be goalkeepers and eight must be ‘locally trained players’ ie. those who were based in Italy for at least three uninterrupted years between the ages of 15 and 21.

Teams are also able to name an unlimited number of players on their ‘List B’, typically reserved for youth-team players. Any player can be named on List B as long as they were born on or after January 1, 2005, and as long as they have played for the club for an uninterrupted period of at least two years.

As is the norm, Atalanta have named the maximum 25 players on their List A, including nine ‘locally-trained players’: Marco Carnesecchi, Marco Sportiello, Rauolo Bellanova, Lorenzo Bernasconi, Giorgio Scalvini, Gianluca Gaetano, Nicola Zalewski, Giacomo Raspadori and Gianluca Scamacca.
