Football Manager 2023 is finally here, giving budding managers from around the globe a chance to start their new careers.
With that in mind, we've got you covered for the very best rising stars you can sign from Italy.
FM23 Italian Wonderkids
Wonderkids are the lifeblood of any FM save and this year is no different.
Italy may have missed out on a place in the World Cup this year, but they will be buoyant to see the wealth of talent rising through their ranks.
Fabio Miretti
Italy is known for their world-class midfielders and Fabio Miretti looks to be the next in a long line of legends.
A rising star in the Juventus ranks, he may be too expensive at the start of the game, but that doesn't mean you should ignore this man's development.
Giacomo Faticanti
Rome wasn't built in a day, but the career of Faticanti could become just as iconic.
A strong defensive midfielder with huge talent, can you steal this man under the nose of Mourinho?
Giorgio Scalvini
Forget Chiellini and Bonucci, Scalvini is the man that will dominate the Italian defence for years to come.
One of the best defensive wonderkids in FM23, this is the man that you need to sign before the big boys come calling.
Diego Coppola
The man that could be beside Scalvini at the centre of defence is Verona defender Diego Coppola.
Only 18, but already showing signs of stardom, Coppola is a man that could become a true star in this year's game.
Destiny Udogie
Wing-backs are hugely important in modern football and Destiny Udogie feels like he could be the man that everyone is chasing in this year's game.
On loan at Udinese from Tottenham, you'll want to keep a close eye on this man's development.
Cesare Casadei
You can always find a wonderkid at Chelsea and Italian midfielder Cesare Casadei is a great option to scout.
A rising star who can play in a number of positions, this Italian stallion could become a world-beater in Football Manager 2023.
Wilfried Gnonto
Leeds United have one of the best wonderkids around in their ranks, with Italian striker Wilfried Gnonto possessing the ability to reach the very top.
A deadly finisher with a great range of stats, it won't be long before this man is dominating on the world stage.
Aaron Ciammaglichella
An underrated gem currently plying his trade at Torino, Aaron Ciammaglichella has the added benefit of having one of the best names in FM23.
Able to play as an exciting attacking midfielder, this Italian wonderkid won't break the bank.
Vasco Walz
It's not often that you find Italian wonderkids plying their trade in Germany, but that's exactly what Vasco Walz doing.
A dominating defensive midfielder, Walz could be the perfect anchor for years to come.
Samuele Vignato
Versatility can be key when it comes to swooping in for attacking talents and Samuele Vignato is the perfect man for that.
Able to play centrally, on the right or as a striker, Vignato comes cheap at the start of Football Manager 2023 and could easily become a real star.
