Part of it comes down to cost. Which seems to be a similar trouble in England. Buying homegrown talents is expensive in both these countries. Unless you're lucky enough to purchase a young Italian player just before he becomes a possible star, you run the risk of having your wallet emptied. South American clubs are poorer and some South American talents are ludicrously cheaper.
So cost is one thing.
The other big problem is that some of these players are already owned by big clubs which makes them hard to get. Teams like Roma, Juve, Man Utd are hardly likely to give up their future stars easily or cheaply. So again it comes back to cost.
Though i may post alot about these South American players, i would prefer to see Milan have a strong Italian core throughout the team if possible or at least have half the squad Italian. So if you can find an Italian who is seen to be as talented as Marcelo and available for as little as 7 million euros, then please inform us! I'd ask you to inform Braida, but as your Juventini, you'd go straight to Deschamps
