AC Milan may have one of the new great talents in its training center. Born in 2011, Akram Jadid impresses with his precocity and is already training with the club’s higher categories, between the U18s and the Primavera. According to La Gazzetta dello Sportthe young striker would have scored nearly 700 goals since his debut, a count kept by his sister Yasmine. Figures obviously inflated by his first years in youth football, but his production remains remarkable since his move to eleven-a-side football: during the 2024-2025 season, he scored 32 goals in 32 games, compared to 22 for Francesco Camarda at the same age. Last season, Jadid played with the U16s before occasionally dropping down to the U15s, with whom he won the national title by scoring in the 2-0 final against Empoli. His performances now allow him to rub shoulders with the first team led by Ruben Amorim, even if Milan intend to gradually continue their development.

An Italian-Moroccan born in Italy to a Moroccan family, Jadid is a pure Rossonero supporter and even preferred Milan to Inter when he was a child. Spotted while playing at Voluntas Montichiari, he joined the Milan academy in 2018. Capable of playing as number 10 or on the left wing, he stands out for his speed in the first meters, his dribbling, his ease with both feet and above all his instinct in front of goal. His history is also linked to football: his father Rachid played in Serie D and his uncle Abderazzak Jadid was a professional player in Italy. Internationally, Akram has already chosen to represent Morocco among young people. Italy is also following its development, but Jadid currently only has Moroccan nationality and will only be able to apply for Italian nationality when he reaches the age of majority.
