Tuttomercato has updated the situation regarding the transfer of Lorenzo Colombo. Empoli is reportedly not planning to exercise their option to purchase Colombo permanently, which would require a 7 million euro fee. Consequently, Colombo is expected to return to Milan, who still hold his registration, once the summer arrives. Meanwhile, several Serie A clubs, such as the newly promoted Sassuolo, Torino, and more recently Genoa, have expressed interest in the young forward. The interest from Genoa is partly due to their challenges in keeping Pinamonti, who might be returning to Sassuolo. According to the latest reports, Colombo's agent, Beppe Riso, has visited Casa Milan to discuss the future of his clients, including Colombo, suggesting ongoing negotiations about the striker's next steps. Genoa's interest is particularly motivated by their need to find a replacement for Pinamonti, who spent the entire 2024/25 season with the club but is expected to return to Sassuolo due to a 20 million euro buyback clause. As a forward born in 2002, Colombo is seen as a potential candidate to fill the void in Genoa's attack.
