According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Francesco Camarda’s immediate future will still be at Lecce. After the draw against Lazio, the 17-year-old affectionately said goodbye to Eusebio Di Francesco in front of the cameras, confirming the special bond between them, described by the coach as “almost father-son.” This connection has been strengthened by the delicate period the young striker is going through.
Camarda will need shoulder surgery, an injury more serious than initially expected. He intends to undergo the procedure immediately to be in top shape for the next summer training camp. Milan, who owns his registration, would have preferred to bring him back to Milanello to oversee his recovery directly, but Lecce pushed to keep him for the remainder of the loan.
The reasons are both technical and financial. Di Francesco continues to see Camarda as a useful asset for the end of the season, despite Cheddira’s arrival. In addition, the agreements include a favorable purchase option for Lecce and a counter-option for Milan, which would ensure the Salentini an economic return close to one million euros. This framework makes an early termination of the loan complicated.
Unless there are surprises, Camarda will return to Milan for the operation but will formally remain a Lecce player, with the possibility of returning to action for the club before the end of the season, as relayed via Milan News.
