Francesco Camarda’s name continues to attract a lot of attention, and the numbers the AC Milan Primavera striker is putting up show exactly why.
Camarda is one of Milan’s hopes for the future. The centre-forward, who will only turn 16 next March, is playing in Ignazio Abate’s Primavera team despite being significantly younger than his teammates.
He scored over 500 goals in the various youth sides prior to reaching the final stage of the youth sector, and he seems to have handled the latest leap very well having scored 6 goals in 7 games across the league, Coppa Italia and UEFA Youth League.
He is the youngest player to have scored in all three U19 competitions (domestic league, domestic cup and Youth League), beating Ryan Gravenberch (now of Liverpool) and Youssoufa Moukoko (of Borussia Dortmund).
In the month of September that just ended, Camarda was searched more times than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo on Transfermarkt.

football manager fans scouting before game come out lol
Well of course there are going to be more searches for him than Messi and Ronaldo – Messi has joined the MLS Retirement League, and Ronaldo has joined the Saudi Pro Retirement League.
It is dangerous for his career if too many atention from social media. Many young player failed because over hype from media & social media . Let this kid grow with no pressure
He just needs an environment that will protect him and shield him from undesired attention. And then as for his development, let him have at least this entire season in the Primavera and see where we’re at in the summer.
We need to secure him right now, lock him for the next 8 years and immediately forget about him for the next 2 years. Let him work and grow as if he doesn’t exist, no pressure.
Not possible. We can only sign on a professional contract when he turns 16 (and there are already talks to secure an agreement as early as possible), and then it can only be for a maximum of 3 years at that point.
