At his age, vacations can wait.
Francesco Camarda, fresh from being eliminated in the semifinals at the U19 European Championship on Thursday, spent a little over three days at the beach with his mother Federica and father Manuel. Today, he will take a flight that will take him, along with Noah Okafor and Kevin Zeroli, to train in New Jersey with Milan.
He will replace Lorenzo Colombo, who yesterday, along with Maldini (who is moving to Monza), bid farewell to the team and took the reverse route (New York-Milan) because he was loaned to Empoli.
The call-up for the tour was a surprise for Camarda and made him very happy as it shows the trust that Milan and the coach have in him. He is behind Morata, who is expected at Milanello on August 10, and Jovic, who is in the States but not guaranteed to stay.
Francesco's "natural" destination is 'Milan Futuro', although given his potential, he is often called up for the first team commitments. Especially if he is part of this tour…
Camarda will end the summer of 2024 with just under two weeks of vacation, including ten days at the beginning of the month in Formentera with his parents and teammates.
This June-July will remain unforgettable for him thanks to the victory at the U17 European Championship, with a prize as the best player of the tournament, the double against Northern Ireland in the U19 European Championship, signing his first professional contract with his favorite team, and now the call-up from Fonseca. This call-up "certifies" the value of the choice made by the striker, determined to stay with the Rossoneri and to demonstrate with actions, not just with the Curva Sud logo tattooed on his leg, his bond with the Rossoneri. He could have signed for one of the two Manchester clubs or Borussia Dortmund, but thanks to the patient negotiation led by CEO Furlani, Francesco stayed in his... home.
