Ibrahimovic shows Camarda Instagram messages: ‘Now everybody knows your name’

RedBird Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic shows two Instagram messages he received in 2019 from Francesco Camarda: ‘Now everybody knows your name, not only me.’

Camarda scored his first Serie A goal on Sunday, contributing to Lecce’s 2-2 home draw against Bologna.

The 17-year-old is on loan at the Stadio Via Del Mare from Milan.

Ibrahimovic, a former Rossoneri star, currently serving as an advisor to Milan owners RedBird Capital Partners, shared a private Instagram message he received from Camarda in December 2019.

Camarda’s messages to Ibrahimovic

Camarda first told Ibra that he was his “hero” and then introduced himself, saying that he was playing in the Milan Academy.

Ibrahimovic shared the message on his social media platforms, including X, adding his own comment.

“31 dec 2019: My name is FRANCESCO CAMARDA,” wrote Ibra.

“28 sep 2025: Now everybody knows your name, not only me.”

When did Camarda make his Serie A debut?

Camarda became the youngest Serie A debutant in a Milan home game against Fiorentina on November 25, 2023, aged 15.

Lecce have an option to make Camarda’s move permanent at the end of the season, but the Rossoneri hold a buy-back clause.
