Francesco Camarda is now officially a Milan player again, after the Rossoneri have made use of the buy-back clause to bring the teenager home from Lecce – just two days after the loan stay was made permanent.

Lecce confirm AC Milan have activated Camarda’s buy-back clause

Camarda spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Lecce to gain experience of a full season of regular playing time in top Italian football. Curiously, the loan deal included a reasonable purchase option for Lecce and another reasonable buy-back clause in favour of the Rossoneri.

Lecce confirmed on Tuesday that they had activated their option to buy Camarda permanently.

But on Thursday, Lecce confirmed that Milan have made use of their buy-back clause – meaning that the 18-year-old spent less than two days as a full-fledged Lecce player.

Milan have since confirmed the deal in a separate statement that reads:

“Milan announces that they have exercised the buy-back option related to the ownership of Francesco Camarda. The striker will return to the Rossoneri from July 1, 2026.

Reports on Wednesday indicated that Milan’s buy-back clause was set at just over €500,000 and that they only had a short period between June 18 and 20 to activate the clause.
