Striker likened to Camarda scores winner for Milan in the U16 derby

Akram Jadid, who has previously been compared to Francesco Camarda, scored the winner for AC Milan’s U16 side in the derby against Inter this weekend. 

Jadid is a player who has caught the attention of those who follow Milan’s youth teams. With plenty of goals to his name – even more than the aforementioned Camarda – and at the tender age of 14, it’s not hard to see why that is the case.

This weekend, Milan’s U16 side were up against the city rivals Inter and Jadid played from start. In the 38th minute of the game, he scored the opener and it ended up being the winner for the Rossoneri, who prevailed 1-0.

Interestingly, as revealed by his father in the past, Jadid actually came close to joining Inter instead of Milan. The latter are certainly happy that they managed to secure the striker’s services, otherwise they could have been on the losing end this season.

“They [Inter] wanted to sign him, but then nothing came of it because Milan arrived. The head scout called me in 2018, asking if we were interested. I had known him for a long time, then Akram, as a fan, didn’t hesitate to say yes,” Jadid’s father stated.
