FIGC president Gabriele Gravina is concerned about a lack of young Italian talent in Serie A.

Gravina admits the lack of opportunity is something FIGC is worried about.

He said, “The first few games weren't positive, we hardly saw any. Then 67% of the players are foreigners and this is not a good sign.

“However, there are some clubs that manage to enhance our talents, which isn't lacking, and some are attractive even abroad. However, I must say that some young foreigners who've arrived in Serie A have shown great quality.

“Then we also have to think about the list of 25 players, the current one is not bearing fruit, we will have to get our hands on it."

However, he also said: "We're rediscovering the desire for football, we had so much of it and the proof is that so many people are going to stadiums.

"The clubs know they have to offer an entertaining product and this is a very important condition. Everything is shaping up, at the standings level there will be three blocks and this generates interest."
