In a surprising turn of events in the January transfer window, Monza are on the verge of securing the services of AC Milan’s teenage sensation Francesco Camarda. Gianluca Di Marzio reports that the Brianza-based club are awaiting Milan’s approval for a short-term loan deal that could see the young striker bolster their attacking options in their fight for Serie A survival.
Adriano Galliani, Monza’s CEO and former Milan executive, has made a formal request to his old club for a dry loan of Camarda until the end of the current season. The move is seen as a strategic effort to strengthen Salvatore Bocchetti’s squad as they battle to avoid relegation from Italy’s top flight.
Camarda, who will turn 17 in March, has already made history as the youngest player ever to debut in Serie A. His potential arrival at Monza could provide the struggling side with a much-needed spark in attack. The youngster has shown promise in his limited appearances for Milan this season, featuring in both Serie A and the Champions League.
The loan deal, if approved, would offer Camarda valuable first-team experience in a high-pressure environment. For Monza, currently sitting at the bottom of the Serie A table, the addition of such a talented prospect could be crucial in their bid to secure top-flight status for another season.
Milan’s decision is expected to be announced imminently, with both clubs and the player himself reportedly open to the move. This transfer could mark a significant step in Camarda’s development and potentially impact Monza’s fortunes in the latter half of the season.
