Official: Milan sensation Camarda joins Lecce

Milan’s teenage sensation Francesco Camarda has now officially joined fellow Serie A outfit Lecce in a loan deal that could become permanent at a later date. 

Official: Camarda moves from Milan to Lecce

Lecce have officially confirmed the signing of Camarda on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy, with a buy-back option in favour of Milan also included in the deal. 

The 17-year-old, who netted 485 goals in just 89 matches for Milan’s youth sides, arrived for his medical on Sunday, and completed the final formalities of his move to Lecce on Monday. 

Having appeared for just 199 minutes of Serie A action last season, the hope is for the teenager to earn more consistent playing time in the top flight during his time with the Salentini. 

Lecce will have an option to make the loan deal permanent at the end of the season, but as Milan have a buy-back option, the player’s future remains at the hands of the Rossoneri. 

Camarda becomes Lecce’s second signing of the summer transfer window, following the earlier arrival of Christ-Owen Kouassi from Ligue 2 side Stade Lavallois.
