Francesco Camarda’s future must be protected in several ways, and AC Milan have a plan to get the best from him.
A player like Camarda, still only 17, has to be looked after. He cannot be given the weight of Milano, not yet. Eventually, that time will come, but preparation is needed, in both senses. Right now, Milan are not ready for him to lead, and ultimately, neither is he.
So, the Rossoneri want to protect their future and his own, and a plan to do so has been revealed this morning.
Plus one and gone
Like the Rossoneri did with Alexis Saelemaekers last summer, the club will extend Camarda’s contract during the mercato for another year, and then allow him to depart on loan, giving him a chance at more experience, as Sky reports.
Lecce, who could need a striker due to the reported interest in Nikola Krstovic, are interested in Serie A, whilst Spezia and Carrarese are keeping tabs on the situation from Serie B. Considering his level, it is difficult to assess where he would be better.
In Serie C, he struggled massively. However, he looked comfortable in the Champions League and Serie A, making it difficult to assess where his profile would gain the most from. What is known, though, is that consistency – not available with the Diavolo – is needed.
Seems to me that the quality of players around him is the key. A careful analysis may be needed in what particular situations he struggled in v where he showed well.
Looking around the payers he was surrounded by in the Serie C didn’t get him excited. Can’t blame him.

For many top level players it is much easier to olay at high levels then lower ones. It is a fact that many do not understand in football and in a process they ruin lifes.
I will give you an example, Andrea Pirlo would be lost and wasted in Seria C, but he will be Pirlo (even when he was very young) in too kevel where you are surrounded with quality and are abke to okay football rather thrn some stupid physical game
You are spot on, not enough people realise this!
That said, I hate seeing young strikers labouring for lower Serie A teams that spend 80% of matches in their own half. They usually return to their parent club with poor numbers and a jury that’s still out.
I’d like to see him go and try to build chemistry with Zeroli at Monza, he doesn’t have to move then either.
I have to agree, but I have a feeling, Gattuso may very well pick Camarda sooner rather then later, maybe optimism but I think it can happen and if so Italy and Milan will benefit, I just hope that we can then keep him, that is the biggest issue within management, they cover the losses they caused by selling assets
Thanks to Milan to bring pirlo from sadness inter at that time. If he stay at inter, he will only for bench warmer. Thanks again to Milan transfer guru, one and only: Adriano Galliani
Put him in a top Serie B team instead of a struggling Serie A one, if we absolutely can’t get him into a meaningful role in our team (which I doubt)
I would have said send him to Portugal or Germany but these leagues develop thier own players to sell.
Seria A or B may not do so well for Canada in development, best bet is to sell home to one of the other leagues for cheap and add a buy back clause of say 5mill when he finally peaks. My honest opinion.
We have a player development problem in Milan right now.
Buy backs are dangerous in terms of trust from the player.
If you’re Madrid, it’s reasonable to say to Jimenez “we’re not sure you’re Madrid level, go and find out somewhere else”. If you’re 2025 Milan, you can’t say the same to one of the hottest properties in youth football without ruffling feathers – remember who his agent is.
Loan = “we like you but you’re not ready yet”
Buyback = “don’t call us we’ll call you”
@Dave
There was no reason not to play him at the end of last season since we had nothing to play for.
Become 3rd striker please
