23. Dean Huijsen - Juventus (on loan at AS Roma)
Dean Huijsen has been earmarked as a future star at Juventus. The defender joined AS Roma on loan in January. Huijsen has represented the Netherlands at various youth international levels, having played for the under-16, under-17 and under-18 national teams - but the 18-year-old looks set to turn his back on his homeland. Huijsen, whose family relocated to Marbella when he was five years old, was called up by the Spain national under-21 team in March 2024. Due to this one-time switch, he became cap-tied to Spain.

24. Francesco Camarda - AC Milan
Francesco Camarda has been prolific at youth level for AC Milan. He netted 22 goals in 24 games for AC Milan's under-15 side, leading them to the under-15 Scudetto title. The striker's goalscoring feats drew the attention of international media after he plundered 485 goals in only 89 matches for AC Milan's academy. Camarda made his UEFA Youth League debut against Newcastle United in September 2023, scoring a brace in a 4–0 victory. These goals made him the second-youngest player to score a brace in the tournament and the youngest-ever Italian goalscorer at 15 years, 193 days.
