Lorenzo Colombo spent last season on loan at Lecce but is now back at AC Milan for pre-season preparations. The forward has been linked with another loan move but could end up staying, a report claims.
Colombo is currently with the Milan squad in the United States for the pre-season tour and he has featured in both games so far. However, it’s clear that he’s behind both Olivier Giroud and Noah Okafor in the pecking order.
According to Calciomercato.com, Atalanta have enquired about the 21-year-old on a permanent basis. However, Milan immediately rejected this approach and haven’t even decided if Colombo should leave on loan or not this summer.
As things stand, the striker will remain at the club as Pioli appreciates his qualities. Cagliari are looming in the background, though, and are ready to pounce should Milan decide to open up the loan hypothesis again. The coming weeks will be decisive in that respect.
