For every Serie A club, the rules on registering non-EU players are clear, with four possible scenarios depending on the make-up of the squad before the transfer window opens.
– 0 players from outside the EU in the squad: a maximum of 3 players from outside the EU can be registered
– 1 player from outside the EU in the squad: a maximum of 2 players from outside the EU can be registered
– 2 players from outside the EU in the squad: a maximum of 2 players from outside the EU can be registered
– More than 2 players from outside the EU in the squad: a maximum of 2 players from outside the EU can be registered, with one of the two, at the time the registration request is made, having been called up and included in the matchday squad for at least 2 official matches for his national team in the previous 12 months or for 5 official matches for his national team in his career.
