As has been confirmed on Lecce’s official website, the Giallorossi did use their option to buy Colombo on a permanent deal after his season-long loan spell there, but Milan have used their buy-back.
Colombo was sent for his first loan spell in Serie A after being at SPAL in Serie B the season prior, and it was a positive experience as he netted six times with some important goals, including the penalty that kept the Apulian side up.
Now the 22-year-old will play in the European Championships with Italy U21s and then he will join Stefano Pioli’s squad for summer training, where he will be evaluated before a decision is made on whether to keep him as part of the rotations or to send him on loan again.
