"Inter Milan's 20-year-old striker Francesco Pio Esposito is rightly being lauded and scored his first goal for Italy against Estonia last week, but another name is making waves - Francesco Camarda, a player three years younger, and potentially more devastating. Together, they could well become the strike partnership that defines the Azzurri's future. At 17 years, six months and 18 days old, Camarda scored his first Serie A goal against Bologna in September, becoming the youngest player in Lecce's history to do so -"
"Camarda had already made history on 25 November 2023, when he came on late in Milan's game against Fiorentina. Under Stefano Pioli, he became the youngest player to make his debut in Serie A. The Italian FA granted Milan a special exemption to allow Camarda to play at just 15 years, eight months, and 13 days, because regulations do not allow players under 16 to feature in the top flight."
Francesco Pio Esposito, 20, scored his first goal for Italy against Estonia, while Francesco Camarda, 17, has rapidly risen through the ranks. Camarda scored his first Serie A goal for Lecce at 17 years, six months and 18 days, becoming the club's youngest scorer after joining on loan from AC Milan. He made his Serie A debut at 15 following a special Italian FA exemption and became Milan and Italy's youngest Champions League player at 16 years and 226 days. He became the youngest Italian to score for the under-21s, displaying composure, quick feet, physical strength and a clinical temperament inside the box.
