Lorenzo Colombo is just one step away from joining Monza on a season-long loan. AC Milan still need to give the final go-ahead, a report claims, but that should arrive very soon.
Colombo spent last season on loan at Lecce and it was a valuable experience for the youngster, who bagged five goals in the process. For this season, he had the opportunity to stay with the first team of Milan but asked to move on loan again.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, as cited by Francesco Nasato, Monza have already won the battle against the other teams interested in Colombo. In the event of a loan, with Milan’s final go-ahead still missing, he will join Rafaelle Palladino’s side.
Colombo will also renew his contract with the Rossoneri before leaving. His current deal will expire in 2025 and Giorgio Furlani doesn’t want him to have just one year left upon returning to the club next summer.
In the meantime, Milan are looking for a striker on the market to replace Colombo.
I’m now expecting tons and tons of comments on why we shouldn’t loan him just to get another Chelsea player on loan. Then comments and comparison with Brahim will be made… All for nothing. Colombo needs more continuous minutes and game time, something Milan unfortunately can’t afford him at the moment although one can argue if that’s justified or not. Chill out, trust experts and Forza Milan :))
Missed opportunity not going after Wahi for 35M – went to Lens instead. Could have solved our striker problem for the next 10 years so to speak.
Not sure it was wise to invest 80M in the midfield and zero to date in the most important position in the team – a consistent scoring #9
