After compiling a dismal scoring record for Milan’s minor teams, Francesco Camarda has piqued the curiosity of Manchester City as well as a number of other major clubs.
The goal for ‘little Ibra’ at Man City is to have scored 483 goals by the time he is 13 years old.
It has been a very long time since the Milan academy has developed a talent that is deserving of being dubbed a “prodigy” like Camarda is. Camarda was born in Milan on March 10, 2008, and he has a profound affinity for the local football team, the Rossoneri, and he entered the Rossoneri academy when he was 7 years old. Camarda spent a few years learning the fundamentals of their craft, and all of a sudden, they became a phenomenon that had never been seen before.
After his header helped U15 Milan win the juvenile Scudetto, the young striker became famous on social networks after a famous scout, Sciabolata Morbida, grabbed attention with a tweet about the boy’s amazing quantity of goals: 485 goals in 89 matches until June 2022. According to the statistics, Camarda has a dismal scoring performance, with an average of 5.5 goals scored each match. According to Morbida, Camarda scored 247 goals in 40 matches during the 2017/18 season (an average of 6,175 goals/match), 172 goals in 31 matches during the next season, and then 64 goals in 16 matches during the 2019/20 season. All of these statistics are shown as averages.
Camarda was only 14 years old when coach Ignazio Abate gave him the opportunity to play for Milan’s U19 squad in a friendly match against Solbiatese. Camarda surprised everyone by scoring two goals in that match for Milan’s U19 team against Solbiatese. Camarda was 1.84 meters tall at the time, and many experts observed that he played similarly to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who had just resigned from the sport at the end of the previous season. On the other hand, Camarda looks up to the illustrious Kaka.
Camarda’s performance at the young level makes it seem likely that he will be elevated to Milan’s first team in the near future. If the home side at San Siro wants to prevent their opponents from scouting Camarda, they absolutely have to sign him to a professional contract as soon as possible. Man City is one of the teams that is interested in Camarda. Over the past two years, Man City has routinely dispatched scouts to observe the Milan young team play.
