AC Milan youngster Francesco Camarda is requesting a surprisingly high salary for a player of his age which has cast his Milan future into doubt.
Speaking whilst on the Milan Hello YouTube channel (via Pianeta Milan), Italian journalist Andrea Longoni explained the latest on Camarda’s potential renewal with the club.
Having turned 16 years old, Camarda is now eligible to sign a new contract with Milan but there is no agreement currently in place and no real rush, but interest in him from other clubs is growing rapidly.
Camarda is represented by Beppe Riso and so far, there has been no suggestion that he sees his future away from Milan. Despite that, he and his entourage are reportedly requesting a three-year deal with an option for another two years, with a salary of €2m.
It is also reported that the agent’s commission would be around €10m, which is an unheard-of figure for a player so young who has one senior appearance to his name.
The team that seems most likely right now to pounce on the situation is Manchester United, another club with a proud history of giving young players a chance in the first team when the time is right.
Milan will have to work hard to reduce these figures if they are true, as the salary would put Camarda above some established first-team players.
