Silvio Berlusconi, president of Italy’s new Serie A club Monza, has outlined some of the odd conditions that players must comply with in the 2022-2023 season.
Berlusconi, Milan’s former owner, has stipulated that the new contracts are made domestically and have Italian citizenship, in addition to his other requirements related to the appearance of the players.
According to the UK site Sport Bible, players must not have tattoos and none of them must wear earrings.
And the site added: “Players must not have beards on their faces and their hair must be neatly styled,” so much so that the 85-year-old Berlusconi provided the players with a hairdresser to help them achieve this goal.
The website states that “these conditions are similar to the return of schoolchildren to school after the summer holidays.”

But the site has confirmed that there will be some exceptions if Berlusconi manages to sign Argentine duo Paulo Dybala, whose contract with Juventus has expired, and Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi.
Berlusconi managed to buy Monza on September 28, 2018, when the club played in the Italian third division.
