Where AC Milan’s squad currently stands with home-grown and non-EU regulations

One of the things that the AC Milan management have to factor in mind when building the squad is the regulations of Serie A and the Champions League.

The current rules are clear: UEFA, in order to register a 25-man squad for their competitions, require teams to have four academy products and another four players having come through academies in that country.

Here is how Milan stand at present, when assessing how the squad list looks currently but also with an eye on the business that could be done between now and the end of the season.

Academy products: Davide Calabria, Tommaso Pobega, Lorenzo Colombo, Matteo Gabbia.

Home-grown players: Marco Sportiello, Antonio Mirante, Alessandro Florenzi.

It must be mentioned that Gabbia looks destined to be on his way to Villarreal so presuming that goes through, Milan can register 23 players not 25 at present.

It is possible therefore that the club might look to flesh out the squad with the signing of a home-grown player, such as for the deputy left-back role or in midfield.

Colombo is included in the academy list because it is presumed that – if he were to stay – he would be promoted from list B (that of the Under 22s, which is unlimited).

Otherwise, Andrei Coubis, Chaka Traoré, Jan-Carlo Simic or Kevin Zeroli could be named as the final spot as well.

Non-EU rules

Each Serie A club are allowed to register two non-EU players per season. One of them can be registered without any constraints – which in this case is Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

To register the second non-EU player, one of the non-EU players already present in the team must leave or must acquire European citizenship.

Milan’s five non-EU players: Devis Vasquez, Fikayo Tomori, Rade Krunic, Junior Messias, Marko Lazetic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

One of them will have to leave to make room for a new registration, such as Samuel Chukwueze. Messias seems an obvious candidate, while Lazetic could depart.
