CorSera: ‘Why not Camarda’ with Milan ‘desperate’ for a Morata alternative | OneFootball

With Alvaro Morata injured, another striker is needed at AC Milan, and questions have to be asked about who that could be.

Although Milan have conceded four goals so far this season, there has been a clear issue scoring goals, and there is a lack of inspiration in the frontline. When Morata came onto the pitch against Torino, a spark was provided but with him injured, there was pressure on Noah Okafor and Luka Jovic to impress against Parma.

Long story short, they didn’t. At all.

Okafor proved that he is not a starting striker, and he is an impact player – someone who can come on against tired legs and create problems. However, he is still young so there is room to grow. With Jovic, there is not the question of age, but rather system.

Time and time again, the Serbian has proved that he is better off working with another player, and he has not had the chance to do this under Paulo Fonseca, and it doesn’t seem like he will. Therefore an alternative to Morata is needed, with Corriere della Sera (via Milan News) stating the Rossoneri and Paulo Fonseca are ‘desperate’.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has already shown his reluctance to buy another striker, but it is needed. The paper asks ‘Why not Camarda’ but falls back on the reason of age. Ultimately, if your fallback on Morata is a 16-year-old who is not yet ready, that shows the need to invest.

Whether the management sees it that way remains to be seen, though.
