GdS: Why Milan are planning to delay Camarda’s renewal by four months

AC Milan currently possess one of the hottest prospects in world football, Francesco Camarda, and a report has suggested that they have a plan regarding how to get the best deal possible for him.

Hopes around Milanello about Camarda are exceptionally high and with good reason. The 15-year-old, who turns 16 on the 10th of this month, has an extraordinary goal record at youth level, and in November, he became the youngest player to feature in Serie A.

Whilst this opportunity was largely given due to the lack of other feasible options available to Stefano Pioli, the 58-year-old has regularly looked to offer young talent opportunities to impress, and giving Camarda a chance gave him and the club an opportunity to assess the youngster at senior-level.

Since then, he has continued to impress in Milan’s Primavera side, and reports have speculated that the club will look to offer him a new deal soon, which is helped by the fact that the youngster has no interest in moving away from the Diavolo.

Reports suggested the Rossoneri would offer him a new contract near his 16th birthday. However, Gazzetta dello Sport have reported that the club will wait until July, given their assurances of him wanting to stay.

The reasoning is that if he signs a deal this season, it will only last until 2026, whereas postponing the deal until July means he will get a deal until 2027, when he will be 19, offering Milan another year of security.
