Obviously, Serie A is just a selling league now when it comes to young talent, and a dwindling one at that. Far more talent in the Bundesliga of course, and I'd even say it's probably worse than Ligue 1 now, too. Just look across the sides and you can probably point to one or two talents here and there that might go somewhere, if that. And unless they're Italian, chances are they're goners. While France keeps churning out the talent, sometimes keeping it too. That's why I think the Euro win for Italy isn't necessarily good long-term, masking major flaws in club and football culture. Not all that glitters is gold.
How did Serie A outscore everyone at Euro. Luck? Facts are the top 4 or 5 teams in EPL have all the money and they know where to look for the next best players . Hint, not Bundesliga. For a “top Economist” you sure like to ignore the numbers from the current transfer market. I seriously doubt how much Football you actually watch.
Name me your top 5 young talents from each league? I’ll wait while you go check google.

I really don't give a fuck about the Euro. If that's all you care about, great. But you had three players hold your supposed national team together to win the Euro, it's not an actual representation of the current state of affairs in Italian club football. The clubs are selling because they need cash, they can't upgrade their stadia because well, they didn't before and now it's impossible, and other than Chiesa, Bastoni, Donnaruma, an injured Zaniolo, and maybe Rovella or whatever, there just isn't that much talent coming through. EPL sides will target players in Italy because they know their clubs want to sell because that's all they do. They have no money. Even Inter has no money anymore.
