Lorenzo Colombo scored twice against Manchester City just a few days ago, but now he is on his way back to Italy and will sign for Empoli.
As Calciomercato.com write, the two goals against City in the New York friendly were the best way to say goodbye to Milan. He has left the training camp and has returned to Italy because the Rossoneri have an agreement with Empoli.
The 22-year-old centre-forward is preparing for a new adventure away from Milan after the loan spells at Lecce and Monza in the past two seasons, and it will now be the Tuscan club who will hopefully give him consistent starts and allow him to properly establish himself as a Serie A level striker.
Colombo has left the USA where he was training under the orders of Paulo Fonseca for the upcoming commitments against Real Madrid and Barcelona in the Soccer Champions Tour. Now, he will work under Roberto D’Aversa.
Milan and Empoli have reached an agreement for Colombo on the basis of a loan until the end of the season, with an option to buy in favour of Empoli and a buy-back in favour of Milan, with whom Colombo has a contract until June 2028.
