AC Milan will exercise their counter-option to reclaim young striker Francesco Camarda from Lecce. The 2008-born forward had joined the Serie A club on a permanent deal worth 3 million euros. However, as part of the agreement, Milan have a clause allowing them to buy back Camarda between June 18 and 20 for 4 million euros.

Camarda's season was impacted by a shoulder injury that required surgery, limiting his appearances. Despite this, he managed to make his Serie A debut and even scored a goal against Bologna. The young striker has also received a call-up to the senior national team.

Milan are keen to bring Camarda back to their academy, viewing him as a key player for the club's future. The Rossoneri are reportedly set to exercise their counter-option, reuniting with the talented youngster.

The move demonstrates Milan's commitment to nurturing young talent and building a strong team for the future. Camarda's return will likely excite fans and provide a boost to the club's attacking options.
