Francesco Camarda is something of a guarantee for AC Milan. However, he has not had the chance to prove that yet, at least until now… When Ruben Amorim arrived, it was clear that he was going to have the opportunity to invest in the mercato. However, he also opted to keep some of the young talents close and Camarda was one of those. Read SempreMilan ad-free and get access to exclusive news. Click here for a free trial! Throughout the summer, there were questions about him and what the next step for his development was. After all, a loan move to Lecce had done very little to improve his game and there were no substantial leaps forward made. So, Amorim and the club faced a decision about where he’d be best served. Amorim backs Camarda As we know, the Portuguese opted to keep him, showing his belief in him. Yet, he hasn’t got a clear route into the XI and needs to prove that he is the right man to support Goncalo Ramos. The belief is there and Camarda must now match the levels required, as Amorim challenged him to do in today’s press conference. “We think Camarda needs space and time, but we could also play with a false nine. I believe a lot in Camarda and I think we need to have him and not other options. “By helping Francesco, I’m also helping myself. Ramos is at a very high level, but Camarda needs to feel like he’s not the third choice, but the second, so he can be ready when called upon. “That way, he’ll feel important. He’s adapting to our game. He’ll have space, and there will be a difference compared to Ramos, but I believe in him a lot, but we’re on a new project. He has to fight for a place regardless of his age, and he’s a Milan player, and we believe in him a lot.” For two years, the entire Milan fanbase has been begging for managers to give Francesco Camarda a chance It took two long years but we finally hired one who believes in an 18 year old Camarda to such a high extent pic.twitter.com/5NAabe3hOk — c0mp (@c0mpmilano) August 27, 2026
