FIFA 23: Will AC Milan and Inter Milan be present in this year's game?

FIFA 23 will have AC Milan and Inter Milan in the game, and the Italian giants will be two excellent sides to play with. The historical rivals have a great squad of players who will add to the excitement and thrill across different game modes.

Both teams will not have their iconic names this year because of certain licensing issues, however, and those unaware of it could get confused.
