Lorenzo Colombo is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Serie A club AC Milan.
He began training as a football player at the AC Milan academy. Finally, on June 12, 2020, he debuted for the starting team in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia against Juventus Turin, a match in which he replaced Lucas Paquetá in the 82nd minute and which ended in a 0-0 draw. On July 18, 2020, he made his Serie A debut against Bologna FC 1909 after replacing Ante Rebić.
After enjoying more opportunities at the start of the 2020-21 season, in January 2021 he was loaned to US Cremonese. In July of the same year, it was SPAL who managed his transfer. In the following season he signed a new loan, this time with US Lecce being his destination.
AC Milan
Born in Vimercate, near Milan, Colombo is a product of AC Milan’s youth academy. His goal tally in the club’s youth teams saw him make his debut for the Primavera (under-19) team at the age of 15. Due to minor injuries, his time at Primavera was shortened.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Milan’s first team’s lack of attacking options meant they were unable to cope with their busy schedule following the restart of football, and Colombo was promoted to the first team. He made his first-team debut, aged 18, on 12 June 2020, replacing Lucas Paquetá after 82 minutes in a 0–0 home draw with Juventus in the Coppa Italia. He made his Serie A debut in a 5–1 home win against Bologna on 18 July 2020.
On 5 September 2020, he scored his first senior goal in a 4–1 win against Monza in a friendly match. On 24 September 2020, he scored his first goal in an official competition, during a Europa League match against Norwegian club FK Bodø/Glimt.
