Widely considered among the brightest Italian talents, Milan wonder boy Francesco Camarda turns 16 today. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, now’s the time for Rossoneri to hand their jewel his first professional contract and avoid losing him to several interested parties from abroad.
Milan squeaked past relegation-battling Empoli 1-0 on Sunday as Christian Pulisic’s first-half winner determined an uneventful contest at San Siro. Stefano Pioli played Luka Jovic from the start, but the Serbian striker failed to live up to the billing.
Veteran goal-getter Olivier Giroud came off the bench and did nothing to improve Rossoneri’s frontline. Overall, it was an unimpressive showing from Milan. Today was a reminder of how desperately they need a new center-forward. And everyone expects them to get one in the summer.
However, one is already in the house. Camarda has featured a couple of times for Milan this season, particularly amid an injury crisis toward the end of 2023. But those were only cameo appearances. He has yet to receive a proper chance to showcase his value at a senior level.
That could change next term, especially if Jovic fails to convince the Milan hierarchy to hand him a new contract. Speaking of deals, Camarda deserves one. Given all the hype surrounding the youngster, the 19-time Serie A champions can’t afford to wait long.
Reports in England have recently linked the Milan whizz-kid with a move to North London, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur emerging as potential candidates to lure the prodigious forward away from his homeland.
