There was some frustration about AC Milan’s perceived lack of movement in the January window, but in fact they made several moves for the future.
As MilanNews write, given that Milan are second place in the league and have a squad with obvious gaps in some areas of the pitch, fans had high expectations for the winter transfer window. Instead only one signing for the first team was made: Niclas Füllkrug.

A physical striker like him was desperately needed, but the collapse of the Jean-Philippe Mateta deal on deadline day disappointed, as well as the fact a central defender and a right-back did not arrive either.
Sporting director Igli Tare explained things to DAZN before the match against Bologna: “We didn’t have the need. If there had been someone who could really help us, we would have done so, but then we decided, together with Max, to move forward with this group that has given us great satisfaction up to this point.”
Looking to the future
While only one signing was made for the first team in January, the club made significant moves to strengthen the Milan Futuro squad with some very interesting signings.
In defence, the 2008-born El Hadj Malick Cissè and 2007-born Magnus Dalpiaz arrived. In midfield the 2009-born Aaron Babaj, 2005-born Jacopo Sardo and 2008-born Yahya Idrissi-Regragui signed. To strengthen the attack, Alphadjo Cissè (2006-bon) was brought in.
After their arrival at the Rossoneri, they were added to Massimo Oddo’s second team, but in the coming months they will also train with the first team. From there – perhaps in the preseason camp – Max Allegri will have the chance to see them up close and immediately get an idea of who is ready.
Our youth sector is a joke. I feel sorry for the players. Camarda wasted 2 seasons with us. If he were a Barcelona player, he’d be the top La Liga goalscorer.
Meanwhile Inter and Juventus U23 teams are fighting for Serie B promotion giving each year a first team players.
You do realize that Inters u23 team was founded in the summer of 2025, right ? Please mention all the players they do promote each year as I don’t recall that many and if you say Esposito then he is 20 years old and has been loaned out for 2 straight seasons.
As much as I want Camarda to succeed with us he will only turn 18 in march and to say that he would already be La Liga top scorer is nothing but speculation.
He should have been loaned to Serie B. Milan will ruin him. If I was Camarda I’d go to Dortmund or Barcelona where the young players get their chances.
I certainly wouldn’t have opposed that he had been loaned out to a Serie B team instead of Lecce. When that is said considering that he will only turn 18 in March and that he is now injured he probably could have reached roughly the minutes of 15 full matches played had it not happened then it can hardly be ruining his career. If I was Camarda I would have stayed with Milan and accepted what ever plan the club made for me. It’s actually the players responsibility to show that he is ready for the first team and not the other way around as Milan is actually trying to get back into CL and is not some charity organisation.
Our U23 team just started two years ago. Give it a break.
Why? To give them away after 2seasons? Waste of money. Where is Camarda?
Camarda is in lecce at least until summer,im asking where is cheveyo b.? He looks also interesting as a 9er…✌🏽
Integration of youth players is a league wide problem. It’s not just limited to Milan. Unless you’re a relegation battle team or a lower tier tier team, youth doesn’t find their way to senior caps unless there are injuries or gaps…
Our management just managed to botch up the Futuro project badly. Voss was supposed to be next level. Where is he? Where is Camarda? Sia just got sent on a loan. Zeroli? Where is he?
