Italian stars won’t be the only ones not featuring at the 2022 World Cup and Football Italia looks at the 20 most valuable stars who will not be in Qatar in November.
Italy will be one of the most notable absentees in the most important football tournament in the world at the end of the year.
Roberto Mancini’s men failed to gain access to the World Cup for the second time in a row. It had never happened in the history of Italian football, and, before the Azzurri, only three countries had become European champions before failing to gain access to the competition.
Federico Chiesa, Marco Verratti and Gigio Donnarumma are only three of the most valuable Italian stars who won’t be in Qatar at the end of the year, but many other top players will be watching the World Cup from their homes. Among them, there are also Liverpool and Egypt star Mohamed Salah and Norway international Erling Haaland of Borussia Dortmund. Let’s take a look at the 20 most valuable stars who won’t play at the World Cup at the end of the year.

The problem with this article that it starts by saying “Italian stars …”
Unfortunately there are no Italian stars these days.
Chiesa is, spinazzola became one, verratti is he played well against Macedonia.
You have a short memory Moggi
Meanwhile, Lapadula has taken Peru to the WC play-off with a huge chance to qualify. How ironic is the world lol… and he is frozen by Benevento who after that unfortunate fact is struggling big time in Serie B… yes IN SERIE B!
If Soyuncu is worth 45m, then I’m Scottish. More like 4.5m.
