Like Barella, Manuel Locatelli was a part of Italy side who reached the final of the 2016 European Under-19 Championship in Germany, and he has also been a regular across the age groups for the youth national team.

A classy midfielder who made his Milan debut as an 18-year-old and was a semi-regular last season, Locatelli was part of the group of young players who were involved in two days of intensive training at the national-team headquarters in February.

He is part of a talented group of young midfielders who look ready to take Italy forward, and if he can win some more minutes at club level this season, he should soon receive his first senior national team cap.
