Francesco Camarda set to move to Lecce on loan
It will not be a dry loan though, and Lecce are expected to have an option to buy the player permanently. Milan in that case would have a buyback clause, in order to remain in control of the young Italian striker's future. The 2008 born player featured in 10 Serie A games and 4 Champions League games this season.

While Milan are right in believing that Camarda needs regular minutes, doubts remain on whether this really is the best course of action. Camarda is 17 and at Lecce he would be thrown straight at the deep end and not performing could well mean relegation for the club. At Milan, he could have developed with more patience and time.

De Bruyne on taking Maradona's retired no.10 shirt at Napoli: ‘I'm my own player'
Kevin De Bruyne has effectively confirmed that he will be wearing the no.10 jersey for Napoli after his summer move from Manchester City, suggesting that it is a major 'honour' to take the iconic shirt number previously retired in honour of the legendary Diego Maradona, but adding: 'I'm my own player'. De Bruyne has been training with Napoli for the last week after sealing a move to the Stadio Maradona on a free transfer after a 10-year spell in the Premier League with Manchester City, during which time he won six league titles, two FA Cups, five league cups and the UEFA Champions League. The Belgian was officially unveiled in front of the press on Saturday, and sat down for his introductory press conference in the afternoon. De Bruyne on wearing Maradona's no.10 shirt at Napoli Reporters at De Bruyne's first Napoli press conference asked about the photographs that circulated earlier in the week, showing the former City star wearing Maradona's retired no.10 in training. In response, De Bruyne effectively confirmed that he will be wearing the no.10 shirt for the 2024-25 season. 'I would say I was a bit surprised in the beginning, because I knew that the number was retired, but in another way it's an honour. It's an honour from the team and from the club to give me this responsibility,' De Bruyne said. He went on to explain that a shirt number does not add any more pressure for a player at his level, because 'the pressure comes from itself if you play for a big team like Napoli'. 'I don't think it adds any more pressure,' De Bruyne added. 'I think the pressure comes from itself. If you play for big teams like Napoli, the pressure will be there. There's a team that wants to win, you know what you have to do as a player and a squad, but I don't believe that a number or anything else will add to the pressure. 'Maradona is Maradona, he's one of the legends of the game and he's synonymous with Napoli anyway. I'm grateful, I'm proud, but I'm my own player. I'm going to try and do the job the best I can do and hopefully I can bring pleasure to the team, to the city and to the fans and get some good performances in there.'

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to link up with Mason Greenwood in shock return to Marseille after Saudi Arabia stint
Aubameyang will return to Marseille Could play alongside Greenwood Saudi journey lasted just a year Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Fabrizio Romano has given Aubameyang the 'here we go' treatment, reporting on X that the 36-year-old has verbally agreed a two-year deal with the French giants, where he will get the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season. The post reveals that the Gabon international captain rejected rival moves from Saudi Arabia to return to his former club on a free transfer, having had his Al-Qadsiah contract terminated. THE BIGGER PICTURE Aubameyang enjoyed a quietly prolific season with Marseille in 2023/24, hitting 30 goals in 51 matches, including 10 goals in the French outfit's run to the Europa League semi-finals. His return will be a welcome one for OM, who nevertheless finished second in Ligue 1 last season with a strike-force which included the controversial figures of Mason Greenwood and Neal Maupay. Greenwood was undeniably effective despite the scrutiny his move from Manchester United brought, scoring 21 Ligue 1 goals in his first season for the club. He may now link up with another former Premier League star in Aubameyang. DID YOU KNOW? Aubameyang's 30-goal return in his previous season with Marseille was his highest since hitting just one more for Arsenal in 2018/19. After opting for a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsiah, the former Gunner maintained his strong form in front of goal with a further 21 goals in all competitions. With this evidence, Marseille and head coach Roberto De Zerbi will be confident that Aubameyang can continue to provide the goods on his return to the south of France. WHAT NEXT FOR AUBAMEYANG? With his return to Marseille set to be officially announced in the coming days, Aubameyang will look forward to a return to Europe to play out the twilight years of his career. The rapid frontman has scored 355 career goals and knows Ligue 1 well, having spent five previous seasons playing there, including spells with Lille, Monaco and Saint-Etienne early in his career. It may be a nigh-on impossible task to knock European champions PSG off their perch, but De Zerbi's side will have a first run in the new-look Champions League phase to look forward to.
