After the departure of Sebastiano Esposito to Sassuolo on a paid loan with an option to buy, Cagliari are in the market for a new striker to bolster their squad alongside Gennaro Borrelli and Kevin Carlos. Their search has led them to inquire about AC Milan forward Francesco Camarda.
Cagliari's leadership believes Camarda offers tactical qualities that their current forwards lack. However, AC Milan have shown no indication of willingness to part ways with the 16-year-old, refusing to even entertain discussions late in the transfer window.
Milan manager Ruben Amorim has made his stance clear, emphasizing that the youngster remains a significant part of his plans. The current strategy is to utilize Camarda as a back-up to Gonçalo Ramos at least until January, at which point his status will be re-evaluated.
We know that Camarda needs time, but also space. As a manager, I believe in him and I want to find myself in a situation where I have no other options apart from Camarda, it will help me and his development. Ruben Amorim
After a strong pre-season performance, which included a brace at Celtic Park, Camarda is still seeking his first official goal for the Milan senior side. While a shoulder injury affected his progress earlier in the year, Amorim has now promoted him to the first team on a permanent basis to continue his growth within the squad.
