I know in Spain they could play in segunda, only to seek information about Italy, thank you.

I wonder why Juve still play in Serie C seeing they have been there since 2018/19. I am curious if they use the same philosophy like in Primavera, giving all players chances to play in the competition.

I think in order to advance to Serie B, a team must have at least a half of Serie B/A level players. But those better players should be promoted to the first team or loaned somewhere or sold somewhere, so the young teams are always weakened.

Our Futuro: without Simic (sold), Traore (likely loaned), Carmada, Sia, Liberali, Zeroli, Bartesaghi, and Jimenez (for first team), it would be hard to stay in Serie C.

I dont think any Serie A level player will even play in 3rd division. Probably need few Serie B level players and a good manager.

Its not difficult to stay in Serie C, we have still enough quality to survive in Serie C, probably finish in mid table.
Forza Diavolo ale!!!

I don't mean the Serie A regulars, but the young ones that possess some aspects at Serie A, like technique, intelligence... and lack some aspects, like: physical maturity.
Carmada and Liberalli are the examples, they could play a limited time in Serie A, but Serie B is better suited.
Torriani is big (1m97), quite matured (born January 2005), and GK position is different than the outfields, so he can play in Serie A and regarded as 2nd GK for the first team now.

The current team are good enough for Serie C, but without 7-9 best players, it is hard for them, as there would be only Primavera plus some outcasts.

Maximilian Zlatan Seger Ibrahimović (born 2006) in his first match for Primavera.
2 goals, very active. Signed for Futuro, but Primavera is already a promotion for him.

Matia Malaspina, 2005 born. 
He is the backborn of Primavera last season, and now ready for the Futuro.
1m84, left foot, good at long passing and tackling. Need improvement in shooting and physique.
Regarded as new regista for Milan. I think with 2 years, he can be better suited than Adli as the boy already know how to position himself and defend.

Silvano Vos made his debut for Milan Futuro in the 1-1 draw with Carpi. Looks like he did well for the 45 mins he played.

From one of the match reports:

"Meanwhile, it took just 45 minutes in the second half for Silvano Vos to show what he is made of. He showed ‘overflowing physical strength’ and made the level look too easy after his arrival from Ajax for a few million, and the feeling watching him play was that he will not be in Serie C for long.

The 19-year-old was good in the transition phase and very good at breaking through the opposition lines. Milan’s plan was to give him a couple of months with the Futuro to settle in and then move to the senior team, but the Dutchman can accelerate things."

Something to look forward to.

The team won their first match, 2:1 against SPAL, a Serie A participant 4 or 5 years ago.

Traore scored the last goal. The boy is more likely to be a Futuro regular than loaned somewhere.
Vos played attacker in 2 recent matches, maybe he is seen as box-to-box.

I saw a clip of a agent that seen all Milan futuro games (and work as an agent). He had some really harsh critisism of the managment of this team. That they employed a rookie manager for one. But most of all that the more experienced players they brought to the squad was not players that could help all the young players, they were instead players that already struggled at this level. This create a bad enviroment for the young players to grow and to instill a winning mentality.

IMO, a team like this need a strong regista and a experienced defender to lead them forward and help others in development.

Also mentioned (by someone else) that this moving players around between the first team, futuro and primavera hurt their development. and that being picked for the first team, but never played make them lost valueable game time. I have to agree that it is kind of pointless of taking up young players to the first team unless you plan on using them, which we don't seem to intend to do.
