Francesco Camarda could return to AC Milan earlier than expected, but Lecce will have to be convinced tomorrow, according to a report.
Camarda left Milan to join Lecce on a season-long loan in the summer. A buy-out clause was added to the deal, as well as a buy-back, effectively working as a development fee in favour of the Via del Mare side. This is something we explained in detail in a bonus article at the time.
However, due to a shoulder injury that could be more serious than first expected, Milan are evaluating the idea of bringing Camarda back earlier. They would like to keep a close eye on the recovery, especially if it’s more serious, and bringing him back would be the best way to do that.
Lecce not convinced, yet
According to Daniele Longo, Lecce are aware of Milan’s idea and the clubs will discuss the matter tomorrow, before or after the clash between the two sides at San Siro. Only after that meeting will the Rossoneri know how to proceed.
As things stand, Lecce aren’t convinced about cutting the loan short as they would miss out on their development fee. It’s possible that the clubs could come to some sort of agreement on that front, perhaps lowering the €1m compensation (€2.5m for the buy-out, €3.5m for the buy-back).
What’s clear is that Camarda will miss out on the game tomorrow due to the injury, and it remains to be seen how long the recovery time will be.
