Manchester City already have one eye on the future as they look to swoop in for AC Milan's superstar youngster Francesco Camarda - who is more potent in front of goal than Erling Haaland.

At just 15-years-old, Camarda already plays for one of Italy's top teams, and he's attracted attention from across Europe. Pep Guardiola's side are seemingly the latest to register interest in the striker.

According to Calcio Mercato, City are keen to purchase the youngster, but they could face competition from German side Borussia Dortmund.

Camarda is already something of a minor celebrity in his homeland. And he first earned national attention when he was said to have netted 483 goals in 87 games - an average of 5.6 every 90 minutes - before he turned 13-years-old.

While this record was achieved in games that weren't all 11-a-side, Camarda has already singled himself out as a superstar of the future.

Newcastle United fans got their first taste of Camarda earlier this month, when the 15-year-old was named in AC Milan's UEFA Youth League side to take on the Magpies. And Camarda was quick to make an impact against the English side.

Camarda found the back of the net twice against the Magpies before setting up a third in a 4-0 win for the Rossoneri. In the process, Camarda became the youngster Italian to score in the competition.

He's impressed on the international stage too, bagging 12 goals in 19 appearances for the Azzurri.

City already have a wealth of options up top, and Haaland has picked up from where he left off last time out. The big Norwegian has already notched eight goals, thee more than Son Heung-min - who is second.

While Julian Alvarez has started to come out of his shell for Guardiola's side, after spending a lot of time coming off the bench last season.
