Few talents in football are generating the same amount of interest that Francesco Camarda is right now, and AC Milan are lucky enough to have the youngster among their ranks.
Every week, there is a new thing to get excited about when it comes to Camarda, and it is difficult to not fall into the trap of getting over-excited about him. The 16-year-old has already made his Serie A debut, which lessens the pressure when he next is elected to make the step, and he is scoring goals for fun.
It has been a very successful summer so far, he has already won the Under 17 European Championship – winning the Player of the Tournament award in the process – and he is currently lighting up the U19 tournament.
As Calciomercato.com write, a certain Camarda-mania is growing. He has already extended his stay with Milan, and the announcement should occur this week. A favourite of the fans, and the club, it seems like destiny for him to eventually lead the club.
The report suggests that he will be central to matchdays with the Milan Futuro squad, but he will train with the senior team during the week when Paulo Fonseca decides. Above all, though, he has the protection of Ibrahimovic.
Already, the Swede has stated that the youngster could struggle in Serie C, but he will shield him from criticisms, having taken him under his wing. A point of reference on and off the pitch, a support network, and a guide on how to grow as a striker, Ibrahimovic aims to be it all, which will only benefit the club and the player.
That is in the future, and as we know, the present is all that matters for the club and Camarda, but it is difficult to live in the moment when the moment is so exciting.
