Lorenzo Colombo will return to AC Milan in the summer when his loan spell with Monza is done and there is a club within Serie A interested in signing him, a report claims.
As we highlighted in our latest Substack piece yesterday, it has not been the season Milan would have hoped for when they sent Colombo on loan to a team just up the road in Monza.
While the striker has shown his qualities at times, even scoring against the Rossoneri, he has been far too inconsistent with just four goals in 22 games for Raffaele Palladini’s side.
According to Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan), the 21-year-old will return to base in the summer and then leave again, with Torino currently the team most interested in securing his performances.
Toro’s idea would be to take Colombo as a third striker, behind Duván Zapata and Matheus Saldanha. The latter is a Brazilian striker currently at Partizan who sporting director Davide Vagnati wants to replace Antonio Sanabria.
The Granata would then have to sell former Rossoneri player Pietro Pellegri and not buy David Okereke from Cremonese on a permanent basis.
Colombo would then compete for the role of third striker for Torino with Ange-Yoann Bonny who is at Parma, valued at just under €10m by the Italian club.
For Torino, Colombo is worth less than Bonny considering his sub-par season. However, it is unlikely that Milan will agree with that assessment.
