Corvino Praises Vlahovic, Touts Camarda's Future

Lecce’s sports chief, Pantaleo Corvino, has shared his expert opinion on two of Serie A’s most talked-about forwards. He gave his full backing to Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic, whom he originally brought to Italy, and also spoke with great enthusiasm about the progress of Lecce’s own teenage talent, Francesco Camarda.

🗣️ Corvino’s Strong Belief in Vlahovic

Pantaleo Corvino, who first signed Dusan Vlahovic for Fiorentina, firmly believes in the Serbian striker’s abilities. Despite some debate over Vlahovic’s role at Juventus, Corvino considers him one of the best forwards in the world. He stated that any club that has him is getting a “great deal.” Corvino also pointed out that Vlahovic’s performance should be seen in the context of a rebuilding phase at Juventus, where he also faced unfair media criticism.

⭐ High Hopes for Young Star Camarda

Corvino also expressed his excitement for Francesco Camarda, the young striker currently on loan at Lecce from AC Milan. He described Camarda as a “natural-born winner” whose talent is beyond his years. According to Corvino, Camarda is not just a typical forward who stays in the penalty box; he is a complete player with a wide range of skills.

⚽ Camarda’s All-Round Skills

Expanding on Camarda’s abilities, Corvino highlighted his excellent mobility and pace, which allow him to create opportunities from deeper positions on the field. He praised the young player’s sharp eye for goal, strong heading ability, and excellent timing. These qualities, Corvino noted, make him a modern and well-rounded striker with a very bright future.

😊 A Proud Discovery

For Corvino, seeing young talent succeed is a source of great pride. He mentioned that Camarda recently broke a record for the youngest goalscorer, a record previously held by another player he discovered, Bojinov. Corvino shared that watching a 17-year-old score in Serie A is a “great feeling,” reaffirming his passion for nurturing the next generation of football stars.
