Recent Italian goalkeepers deemed wonderkids have so far failed to live up to their once-huge potentials. Could Manuel Gasparini be the anomaly?

Emerging from the Udinese academy, Gasparini is just 17 years old but looks set to give Gianluigi Donnarumma a run for his money one day.

Should his insane determination of 20 carry over from the previous instalment to FM21, the under-18 international will stop at nothing to achieve his full potential.

Although he is yet to make his senior debut for the Bianconeri, he is highly regarded in Udinese due to his impressive reflexes, handling and positioning.

Juan Musso has cemented his place as the starting goalkeeper at the club, so a loan spell to the lower divisions in Italy will serve him well.

Although, with his contract set to expire in summer 2021, unsettling him early may be the key to get a cut-price bargain on this future star.
