Liverpool are mulling a move for Serie A’s record teenager, but Jurgen Klopp faces a major hurdle in completing the deal.
Liverpool have Francesco Camarda on the club’s transfer radar. Serie A history was made last weekend when Francesco Camarda became the youngest player to play in the Italian top division at the age of 15 years, 8 months and 15 days.
Camarda joined AC Milan, becoming the youngest player in the club’s history to break Paolo Maldini’s long-standing record.
The talented striker was promoted to the club’s first team amid an injury crisis, with Milan having to make special concessions as the Italian Football Federation generally does not allow players under the age of 16 to play professional football.
Camarda played just a few minutes on his debut and has now forever cemented his place in Milan history. It’s no surprise that his historic performances have made headlines everywhere, but behind the scenes, Camarda has been on the radar of some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including Liverpool.
Liverpool are one of Camarda’s potential suitors, alongside some of the world’s top clubs, according to 90min. The website claims that he currently lives in Milan.
Liverpool’s interest in Camarda has merit. He is regarded as Milan’s most talented player and has already dominated many opponents at youth level, scoring many goals, especially for Italy’s youth team.
He has recently risen to the top of the UEFA Youth League, where Camarda has scored three goals and an assist in three games for Milan, scoring against Newcastle United’s Under-19s and Borussia Dortmund.
It’s still early days but Camarda is clearly gaining momentum as one of AC Milan’s most promising prospects and it’s encouraging to see Liverpool interested in his services.
However, completing a potential deal would be a major hurdle for Liverpool.
