Galliani wants more graduates from AC Milan academy

AC Milan GM Adriano Galliani would like to see the club's academy producing more first teamers.

Milan's 16-year-old goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and youth academy product Mattia De Sciglio both featured in yesterday's 0-0 draw with Atalanta.

Galliani said, “We will be truly happy if we're able to get a youth product as a stable part of the first team. In recent years we got three in there and we think from next season midfielder Locatelli will be there too, he is 17 now.

“Personally I think it'd be fantastic if we brought one teenager through per year. Our four full-backs all come from the youth academy and we're satisfied."
