Lorenzo Colombo spent this past season on loan at Lecce but will return to AC Milan when the pre-season kicks off. Furthermore, it’s not certain that he will leave on loan again, as was first thought.
The 21-year-old did well during his loan at Lecce, getting six goals and assisting an additional two. He scored the penalty that secured Serie A salvation for the club, taking on that great responsibility just a few minutes after coming off the bench.
Lecce announced last night that they have triggered the buy-out clause, but Milan will make use of the buy-back to bring him back – which will effectively cost them €1m. And as reported by Gazzetta Dello Sport (via SempreMilan), he could stay with the first team.
Stefano Pioli will monitor closely during the pre-season and then make a decision on the future. A loan remains on the table, of course, but the manager wants depth he can rely on and Colombo could thus get decent playing time at Milan as well.
Giroud Colombo and one big singing for center forward.
New strong right winger, Kamada, and Theo with Leao deputy. And new central midfielder…
Long way out
