When Francesco Camarda plays with his peers, it feels like he doesn't belong there at all. A 16-year-old with the mindset of a senior player. In the Under-17 European Championship final, he put on a show against the Portuguese players: two goals and a total of four goals in the tournament, considering the ones against Sweden and Slovakia in the group stage.
The AC Milan starlet was awarded as the best player of the competition.
Milan is cherishing their little gem who debuted in Serie A at 15. The spotlight has long been on him, but the Rossoneri have no intention of losing him. His valuation is around 10 million euros, but the figure is destined to rise month by month, as per Calciomercato.com. The Rossoneri want to secure Camarda with a renewal until 2027 and bring him into the new Under-23 team to start his professional journey from Serie C.
The player's determination to stay with his team has been crucial, rejecting every foreign attempt: Borussia Dortmund tried a couple of times, but the player's response was always the same: "No, thanks." In the past, the AC Milan youngster was also linked to other clubs even Inter, but in Italy, no concrete approaches were made to take Camarda away from the Rossoneri.
