AC Milan are lucky to have a star like Francesco Camarda among the ranks, but he is not yet ready for consistent senior football, so he will likely leave the club on loan.
Talk about Camarda has been growing heavily in recent years, and in the past year, his stocks have skyrocketed, due to a number of first-team appearances. However, he has yet to cement a consistent role in the team.
Instead, his time has fluctuated between the Milan Futuro ranks and the bench of the first team, with minutes arriving here and there among the seniors, and with Serie C not being the hoped walk in the park, the situation needs to be revisited, as Tuttosport (via Milan News) states.
As it was in January, it seems a loan option could be possible in the summer, with it now being seen as an ‘ideal situation’ to allow the youngster time away from the club to ‘continue his path of growth’ away from the pressures of the Diavolo.
This season, the management believes he has seen too little of the pitch, resulting in him not being his best, so, the question arises, ‘What will be the future of Francesco Camarda?’
The answer remains largely the same, and the gamble on his success is still there, and the loan away should be even further proof of this.
This guy is overhyped.
From Google:
Eventually, his goal-scoring feats drew the attention of international media, and he was lauded for having scored 485 goals in only 89 matches for AC Milan’s academy, an average of 5.45 goals per game.
Not sure if your comment was sarcasm or not. Hopefully it was
Such a waste of his momentum this season, he’s gone from always scoring to never getting off a bench and travelling from team to team. The lad just needs a bit of consistency, hopefully a top second division team with a trusted coaching staff and facilities can help him get that consistent time he needs.
He should’ve played every game in Futuro. He needs the consistency. He should’ve never been part of the first time until the end of the season.
This. Last season he was in the Primavera, and this season it seems the hope was he’d find success in the first team. Primavera to Serie A is a huge leap. He should have played this season full-time in Serie C with Futuro. Then stay in Serie C until he’s consistently scoring goals, after which a loan to a Serie B club. Finally when he’s regularly scoring goals in Serie B a promotion to the first team, or maybe even one season on loan to a stable mid-table Serie A team first. This has to be done step by step.
I’m not sure being in such a struggling side would help all the much, if we’re expecting him to play for a top side IMO he should be playing at a top side in a division with service.
Camarda is AC Milan’s most valuable asset. The moment he steps onto the field, it’s clear he’s already ahead of both Gimenez and Abraham in quality. However, we must be cautious with his development—he’s still very young. Even if we loan him out, we should impose a strict cap on his total minutes per season to manage his workload, reduce pressure, and minimize the risk of injury.
I’m all for supporting this kid and he has a bright future, but he’s has shown nothing so far to suggest he’s clearly ahead of Abraham or Giminez in quality. Potential is one thing but he has not shown much in the limited time he’s played other than “almost scoring” a couple goals. It’s not his fault, he’s a kid and he needs playing time and lots of it to get better. He should not have been wasting his time sitting on the bench with the first team. A loan would do him a lot of good.
The fact that Futuro wass not a walk in the park screams fundamental problems with how the club develops youth.
With Camarda we can see the lack of a plan for his development.
This seems true for Zeroli, Torriani and Liberali as well.
We have 4 clearly talented kids, yet we cannot see a path for them to our first team. @Maldinis Hair has the right of it in this instance. We buy a Tottenham bust and a 35 yr old RB who is no better than our club captain in any material way then don’t program time for Bartesaghi or Jimenez to play a serious and consistent role in the season.
We bought a non-target striker in Morata, a useful profile in Abraham and fail to ensure meaningful minutes for Camarda who brings more than Morata when he is on the pitch.
We invested in Futuro but not in the ideal manager to develop these kids. So we struggle as a team and they struggle to develop further.
I sure hope this new SD can see we have the talent coming up and that we need a program to develop it.
Zeroli is currently on the bench at Monza, doing his development the traditional way.
Liberali is killing it in the Primavera, which is more his level than Futuro.
The concept of Futuro is fine, it’s the clubs first year in a new league which plays meaningful football (unlike the primavera). Just give the club time to adapt.
There is lots to agree with here on a high level, but in Camarda’s case, it could just be that he isn’t ready for professional level football even at the Serie C level. Playing in the primavera and playing against grown professionals is a completely different cup of tea.
BTW, Zeroli has started the last three Monza games. It could be because they’ve realized they’re virtually relegated and Uncle Fester is doing us a solid, but still, there it is.
And let’s see Furlani add a “option to buy” to the loan contract and after that it’s “Bye Bye Bye”. And soon after, no more Italians left in Milan.
if the “option to buy” costs more than 10 dollars less from the sales, Furlani won’t think about hahah
So it would be a “bye bye”
Furlani is in charge, this guy has to leave. Sad
why? I don’t need to tell you, if you get it haha..
Milan management in a nutshell: “Morata is Mister X and Camarda is the future great striker.”
Six months later, Morata is gone, Camarda has yet to prove he can play at the highest level and Milan is 9th and out of UCL. Geniuses at work.
