Lecce director Corvino excited by Camarda signing: “Quality has no age”

By: Oliver Fisher

Lecce’s sporting director Pantaleo Corvino has shed some light on why they were so keen to bring in Francesco Camarda from AC Milan.

Camarda’s departure from Milan should be complete in a matter of days, with Lecce confirming a medical has been booked with a post on their social media on Saturday. It is not just going to be a dry loan either: there will be an option to buy and a buy-back in Milan’s favour.

Despite the inclusion of those clauses, the striker obviously remains a crucial part of the Rossoneri’s future plans. However, it does give Lecce a bit of an incentive to play the teenager, given that they would get a ‘development fee’ of sorts with the buy-out and buy-back.

‘Quality has no age’

Corvino gave an interview to La Gazzetta dello Sport and he gave a brief comment about Camarda, suggesting that the head coach Eusebio Di Francesco will have no problem playing him.

“I’ll just say one thing: you shouldn’t take Camarda’s age into account. For me, quality has no age,” he said (via MilanNews).

Speaking a few days ago, he added: “He has great potential. We have Krstovic in that position. We wanted to bring in a player with #amarda’s characteristics and we’re convinced we’ve made the right choice.

“Signing a player like this from Milan on loan with an option to buy and buy back is no mean feat, but it’s also a deal that allows us to capitalise. We believe in what this player can bring us.”
