AC Milan: a great hope on the start this winter?

At only 18 years old, Francesco Camarda is going through a much less exciting period than his sensational debut would have led him to predict. Considered one of the greatest hopes of the AC Milan training center, the Italian striker had set records for precociousness, notably becoming the youngest player to debut in Serie A, at 15 years and 8 months. But after a complicated first experience on loan at Lecce, where he only scored one goal in 21 appearances last season, his return to the Rossoneri did not allow him to return to the forefront. Despite his status as an understudy in attack, he struggles to get playing time and has even been left on the bench during several games.

As the winter transfer window approaches, Camarda’s situation therefore raises questions. While his development requires playing time and regularity, the striker finds himself in a delicate position in Milan, where he is currently not considered a real priority option. A new departure from January could thus be considered in order to allow him to continue his progress away from the Milan bench, as reported Gazzetta dello Sport. At 18 years old, the former phenomenon of Lombard training must now find the right environment to relaunch a trajectory which had started under the best auspices.
