Lorenzo Colombo has been at the centre of many rumours this summer as his future was rather uncertain a few weeks ago. Now, however, AC Milan have more or less decided what his future will be.
As we reported back on Monday, Stefano Pioli is happy with what he has seen from Colombo during the pre-season so far. Therefore, Milan are now included to keep the youngster as the third-choice striker.
MilanNews and Daniele Longo have added that Colombo is expected to renew his contract with Milan as well, which will expire in 2025. It has not been widely reported but the 21-year-old renewed his contract before he moved to Lecce on loan.
The likes of Atalanta, Cagliari and Genoa have expressed their interest in the striker, per the MilanNews report, but Milan would like to keep him for the upcoming season. The decision is not final but it seems very likely that Colombo will remain.
The renewal makes sense as Milan don’t want the player to have just one year left of his contract next summer, which could hurt them on the mercato.
