Where Camarda stands with shoulder injury and Milan recall rumours

Teenage sensation Francesco Camarda is currently nursing a shoulder injury, and now rumours have begun to spread that Milan could seek to terminate his loan agreement with Lecce. Here is what to make of the recall rumours and the latest news on the 17-year-old’s fitness. 

What’s going on with Camarda, Lecce and Milan? 

The 17-year-old, who netted a ridiculous 485 goals from 89 appearances for Milan’s youth teams, joined Lecce on loan with an option to buy in a deal that includes a low-cost buy-back option in favour of the Rossoneri. 

Reports over the summer claimed that Lecce would have an option to buy for around €3m and that Milan would be able to bring the youngster back for €4m. 

He has since gone on to net once in Serie A, in a 2-2 draw with Bologna, and has made a total of 17 Serie A appearances so far this campaign. 

Camarda has missed the last two matches with a shoulder injury. Milan were reportedly concerned that the teenager would miss a significant chunk of the rest of the Serie A season as a result, but reports on Friday suggest that the injury is not quite as severe as first feared. Calciomercato.com claims that he will be back on the pitch within a few weeks. 

Meanwhile, there have been reports from Nicolo Schira that Milan will terminate Camarda’s loan deal and bring him back home from Lecce in order to boost Massimiliano Allegri’s attacking options for the remainder of the 2025-26 season. 

Various other outlets, however, suggest that this will not be the case. Calciomercato denies outright that Camarda will return to San Siro, while Milannews.it suggests that there is a possibility the teenager goes back to Milanello for medical treatment, but that the club will not seek to terminate his loan agreement.
