Next season, Inter Milan will set up a new Under-23 team.
Similar to the Juventus Next Gen and AC Milan Futuro sides, it will be an intermediary step between the Nerazzurri's youth teams and senior teams.
The Bianconeri in particularly have enjoyed success with this approach. They have used their Next Gen team to bed in players who have played a big role in the senior team, or else been sold for a profit.
The shining example of this pathway would be Kenan Yildiz.
This approach would therefore be an alternative to having young players go out on loan for senior playing time.
Among the players who will be a part of the project will be Thomas Berenbruch and Alessandro Calligaris.

Vecchi spent four years in charge of Inter's Primavera team between 2014 and 2018. Meanwhile, he had two brief caretaker spells in charge of the Nerazzurri first team.
Vecchi has had spells as coach of the likes of Feralpisalo, and this season, Vicenza.
Had the 53-year-old guided Vicenza to Serie B, he would have likely stayed at the club. However, they lost their Serie C playoff final against Ternana.
Therefore, reports Tuttosport, Vecchi is ready to step down from his role at Vicenza. He will join the Inter Under-23 team.

'Nick's fired up' - German Woltemade fit for Italy U21 quarter-final
Germany's Nick Woltemade (R) and Rocco Reitz react after the UEFA European Under 21 championship soccer match between Czech Republic and Germany. Woltemade believes that Germany on a good path towards a possible fourth under-21 European championship title, and the VfB Stuttgart striker is a key factor. Branislav Racko/dpa Germany striker Nick Woltemade will return to the starting line-up for the under-21 European Championship quarter-final against Italy on Sunday after being rested. "Nick's fired up; otherwise, he wouldn't be here or performing the way he is – on the pitch and off it," coach Antonio Di Salvo told reporters on Saturday. Advertisement The Stuttgart forward, who spent the start of June with the senior side at the Nations League Final Four, was rested during Wednesday's 2-1 win against England due to his heavy workload and a foot injury. He had previously scored 4 goals and added two assists from the opening two group games. The Germany coach reported that all 23 players in his squad are fit for the match against Italy, who, like Spain, hold the record for most under-21 European Championship titles with five. Di Salvo, an ethnic Italian, is looking forward to a special game for his family and has lots of thinking to do having tinkered with his line-ups so far.

Inter Milan vs. Urawa Red Diamonds odds, predictions: FIFA Club World Cup picks, best bets Saturday
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. We should get a pretty good idea of how seriously Inter Milan is taking the FIFA Club World Cup on Saturday. The Italians were not at their best in a 1-1 draw against Monterrey in their opening match, adding to concerns that Inter would have a tough time getting up for this tournament after a grueling season that saw them finish as runners-up in both Serie A and the Champions League. Inter had a two-week break before heading to North America for the Club World Cup after falling just short of a historic season, so it's not a shock they were stodgy in their tilt with Monterrey. Inter fell behind by one goal early, but clawed back into the match and secured a 1-1 draw. Saturday's match with Urawa Red Diamonds should be a walk in the park for La Beneamata on paper, but if Inter are disinterested, the Japanese side are a threat to pull off a stunner at Lumen Field in Seattle. Urawa were also uninspiring in their opening match, a 3-1 loss to River Plate, and they'll likely need to pull the upset to have any chance of moving on in this tournament. The Red Diamonds were the only team in Group E that didn't get a point, and they'll be underdogs again in their final match of Round 1 against Monterrey. Yann Sommer of Inter Milan during a break in play at the FIFA Club World Cup. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters It's a massive ask, but Urawa have to go for this win. That should lead to a more aggressive approach from the Japanese side, which should leave them vulnerable to Inter's counterattack. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps And given how they defended against River Plate, that could lead to disaster. If Inter brings anything close to their A-game, they should be able to get us to this Over on their own.
