Lorenzo Colombo

Lorenzo Colombo (born 8 March 2002) is an Italian professional footballer striker who plays as a forward for Serie A club Lecce, on loan from AC Milan.

Club Career

Born in Vimercate, close to Milan, Colombo is a product of the youth academy of AC Milan. His goal tally in the club's youth teams led to him making his debut for the Primavera (under-19) side at the age of 15. Due to minor injuries, his time in the Primavera was cut short.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Milan first team's lack of striking options meant they were unable to cope with the busy schedule after football resumed, and Colombo was promoted to the senior side. He made his first-team debut aged 18, on 12 June 2020, replacing Lucas Paqueta after 82 minutes in a 0−0 draw at home to 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 official competition, during a Europa League match against Norwegian club FK Bodo/Glimt.

On 26 January 2021, Colombo joined Serie B side Cremonese on loan until the end of the season.

On 31 July 2021, Colombo was loaned out to Serie B club SPAL for the season.

On 7 July 2022, Colombo was loaned to Lecce with an option to buy.

International Career

Colombo played for the Italy U17 and the Italy U19 side.

He made his debut with the Italy U21 on 30 March 2021, playing as a substitute during the group stage match of the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship won 4–0 against Slovenia in Maribor.
