Inter are among a handful of Serie A clubs ready to register a “B” team to compete in Italy’s lower leagues from the following season, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

FIGC sub-commissioner Alessandro Costacurta confirmed on Wednesday that Italy’s Football Federation wishes to introduce second teams into Serie C (known until last season as Lega Pro) for the 2018-19 campaign, which will be filled by under-21 players and a maximum of two under-23 players.

“As of today the FIGC are working to formalise the list of criteria that clubs will need to follow in order for their second team to be chosen,” the Milanese publication wrote on Wednesday.

“Amongst the clubs already prepared to submit teams are Juventus, Milan, Inter, Atalanta, Napoli, Roma and Fiorentina.”

Inter’s “B” team would start by playing in Serie C but would be eligible for promotion to Serie B, provided the first team is not relegated from Serie A (no first and second teams from the same club would be allowed to face each other).

They would also be eligible for ‘formal relegation’, although they would not be allowed to play in Serie D as the players involved would lose their status as professionals.

Nothing has been officially confirmed for the moment however as talks between the various parties are still ongoing.
