Genoa are looking at Lorenzo Colombo to potentially strengthen their attack, according to a report from Sky.
Colombo returned to Milan after a loan spell with Empoli during the past season, who suffered relegation to Serie B. The 23-year-old has had loads to Cremonese, SPAL, Lecce and Monza prior, so is reaching a point of crossroads regarding where his long-term future may lay.

Genoa want Colombo
After links with Parma in recent weeks, Sky (via Calciomercato.com) are reporting that Genoa are also closely monitoring Colombo’s situation for their attack. The Milan striker is coming off a position season with Empoli, where he amassed six goals and two assists for a team that struggled generally.
The Italian has been in the sights of the Ligurian club for some time and they have now enquired about the possibility of signing him. Genoa did not buy Andrea Pinamonti outright so he returned to Sassuolo, and a replacement is sought.
The Grifone therefore join a long list of Serie A clubs monitoring the Colombo opportunity. The striker for his part is studying the best destination to potentially land, and working with Patrick Vieira could prove to be the preferred option.
For now, however, Colombo is in training camp with Milan as the only striker (waiting for Santiago Gimenez and the new signing) and will be evaluated by Massimiliano Allegri. His future, however, will likely be elsewhere.
At this rate we will only have 1 striker, Gimenez, as all our targets are out of reach, would rather keep Colombo as back up, rather than some foreign nobody from french or Belgian league. Colombo would be valuable for home grown quota and with good service will always score a few goals as back up/sub, will also save us money which we can use to sort the RB/LB issue.
Would also be good to see one of our youngsters get a chance for once, instead of some foreigner with no love for the club.
Well spoken Mr
Yep. You’re preaching to the wrong crowd though. I think 90% of us share your view. It’s beyond idiotic that the management has let the situation to go where it is. I’m sure they will loan him out and Gimenez ends up to be the only striker available when the season starts.
Well… I guess Allegri could in theory use Okafor too as no one will buy him.
The white knights of RedBird are going to attack you for that. Everything they do is awesome because the books are balanced.
Milan should let this guy stay for one season has back up striker and see his performance. We can now sell for 40m too. This management lack multiplication effect
Let him stay as our back up striker
