Rabat – Moroccan-Italian teenage striker Akram Jedid has attracted growing attention at AC Milan after receiving an invitation to train with the club’s first team, according to French media outlet TV5Monde Info.
Born in 2011 in Brescia, Italy, Jedid has emerged as one of the promising young talents in Milan’s academy. The 15-year-old joined the Lombardy club’s academy in 2022 and currently plays for AC Milan’s Under-18 side.
According to TVMondeInfo, Jedid’s invitation to train with the first team at Milanello, AC Milan’s training center, reflects the club’s strong interest in his development.
The training session does not represent the signing of a professional contract, given the player’s age, but highlights the attention he has attracted within the Italian club.
Akram Jedid chooses Morocco
Despite being born in Italy, Jedid has chosen to represent Morocco internationally.
The young striker has already represented Morocco at Under-16 level, strengthening his ties to the country and making his development a point of interest for Moroccan football fans.
Jedid has reportedly scored around 700 goals since beginning his football journey, a remarkable figure that has contributed to his growing reputation as a prolific young striker.
His performances at youth level have also caught the attention of those following AC Milan’s academy system.
A prolific goalscorer
Jedid enjoyed a particularly impressive 2024-25 season, scoring 32 goals in 32 matches and finishing as the top scorer in his age category.
His goalscoring record is not the only aspect of his game that has attracted attention.
The young forward is known for his efficiency in front of goal and his ability to contribute beyond finishing. He can also operate in a No. 10 role, allowing him to participate in build-up play and create opportunities for his teammates.
His technical ability and versatility have added to his profile as one of the promising prospects within Milan’s youth setup.
Italian champion with AC Milan
Jedid also recently helped AC Milan claim the Italian Under-15 championship in Empoli.
Milan won the decisive match 2-0, with Jedid finding the back of the net once again as his side secured the national title.
The achievement added another milestone to a rapid rise that has seen the Moroccan-Italian youngster progress through Milan’s academy and earn an opportunity to train alongside senior players.
For Moroccan football, Jedid’s development could be one to watch closely as the teenager continues his journey in Italian football.
While his first-team training invitation does not yet signal a professional contract, it represents another important step for a young Moroccan international whose performances are increasingly attracting attention in Europe.
