The personnel shortage in AC Milan’s offensive means that a 15-year-old will be in coach Stefano Pioli’s squad for the Serie A game against Fiorentina on Saturday. According to Fabrizio Romano, super talent Francesco Camarda will then be part of the Rossoneri’s professional squad for the first time.
On Thursday, Italy’s FIGC association granted an exemption for the young striker, who will celebrate his 16th birthday next March.
At Milan, several attackers are unavailable for the duel with the Viola. Rafael Leao, Olivier Giroud and Noah Okafor are not available. In addition to Camarda, Diego Sia, another promising striker from the U19 team, which is coached by ex-Milan professional Ignazio Abate, could be part of Pioli’s squad.
Camarda is considered a huge talent in Italy. He broke numerous records as a youth. Among other things, he scored 483 goals in 87 games in his first three years at Milan from 2017 to 2020.
This season he scored 7 goals in 13 competitive games for Milan’s Primavera, as well as three assists for Italy’s U17 international (six appearances, four goals).

The Milan press conference before the game against Florence is scheduled for 1:45 p.m. on Friday. Pioli should then officially announce the decision to appoint Camarda.
Milan: Francesco Camarda would be the youngest player in Serie A
If he were to play in Serie A, the youngster would be the youngest debutant in history at 15 years and 260 days. This is currently Wisdom Amey, who made his debut for Bologna in 2021 at the age of 15 years and 274 days.
Camarda would logically also be the youngest Milan player in history. The record is currently held by club legend Paolo Maldini. The multiple Champions League winner was once 16 years, 6 months and 25 days old when he made his debut in Italy’s top division for the Milanese team.
