Liverpool will reportedly battle Manchester City for AC Milan wonderkid Francesco Camarda, who this weekend made history.

According to 90min, the Reds, alongside Pep Guardiola’s side and Chelsea, are all keeping tabs on the 15-year-old forward, who at youth level has scored well over 400 goals with the Rossoneri.

Such form earned Camarda his senior debut for Milan this weekend as the attacker became the youngest player ever to feature in a Serie A match.

With Camarda yet to sign a senior contract with Milan, the race to sign the 15-year-old is firmly on, with Liverpool hopeful of landing the Italian’s signature in 2024.

However, with interest from the likes of City and Chelsea, the Reds face quite a battle to land Camarda, with Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund also interested in the teenager.

Indeed, Liverpool have done well in recent years to land some of Europe’s best young talents, and Camarda would be an exceptional coup for the Anfield side if they can secure a deal.

Having made international headlines this weekend, the secret is now out at Milan that they have what could be a future superstar on their hands in Camarda.

With over 400 goals with various youth teams already on his CV, signing the teenager could be impossible for the likes of Liverpool, with Milan likely to fight tooth and nail to keep hold of Camarda.

Having now made Serie A history this weekend, it wouldn’t be a shock if Milan had a deal already in place to keep Camarda around at the club, with the youngster now one everybody’s radar.

And for Liverpool, the battle to sign Camarda could be over before it’s even started, with the forward someone who could be too far out from the Reds’ reach heading into 2024.
