AC Milan's Serie A giants announced today that they have agreed a three-year professional contract with 16-year-old soccer prodigy Kamada, a move aimed at challenging the likes of Manchester City. Looking back to last November, Camarda became the youngest player in Serie A history when he made his debut in uniform at the age of 15 years, 8 months and 16 days, and his rise is seen as another soccer miracle after Spain's rising star, Lamin Yema.
A native of Milan, Camarda has been a member of AC Milan's youth academy since he was seven years old. In last season's AC Milan U19 tournament, he scored 14 goals in 41 matches with his "jumping" performance. In November last year, when AC Milan suffered a wave of injuries, Camarda applied to the Italian Football Federation and successfully "jumped up" to the next level, competing with Ferentina, once again setting a new record for the youngest player in Serie A.
After helping the Italian national team win the title, Camarda added another impressive performance in the U17 Euro Cup last month, scoring four goals to help his team win the title again. He is currently competing in the UEFA Europa League with the U19 national team, facing Northern Ireland U19 in the group stage, where he led the team to a 3-0 victory, and has already locked up a spot in the quarterfinals after two games. This summer, Kamada is expected to collect two consecutive titles.
