Ahead of the season, AC Milan decided to send Lorenzo Colombo out on loan, more specifically to SPAL. The youngster has been fantastic for the Serie B side, which is good news for the Rossoneri. 

In his first five league appearances for the club, he has bagged three goals and one assist. Milan are delighted with his start and are already thinking about the future and what it holds for the striker, as per Serie B News.

The Rossoneri could decide to focus on Colombo for next season but he could also be involved in a swap deal. Paolo Maldini is very interested in Sassuolo star Giacomo Raspadori but he has a price tag of around €25m.

With the inclusion of Colombo in the deal, Milan could get a €9m reduction, roughly. Then again, everything will depend on the future of the young striker as keeping him might also be a wise choice.
