Ambrosini questions Milan’s decision to loan out Colombo: 'Are we sure?'

AC Milan agreed to send Lorenzo Colombo out on loan in the dying days of the summer mercato. The youngster joined Monza and has started well, prompting the Rossoneri legend Massimo Ambrosini to question the decision. 

Milan were in talks with Porto over Mehdi Taremi in the final days of the summer window and after initially delaying Colombo’s exit, they agreed to send him to Monza. And when the Taremi talks broke down, the Rossoneri had to settle for Luka Jovic.

In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, which you can read in full here, Ambrosini shared his thoughts on the outcome. He questioned the decision amid Colombo’s positive start, scoring three goals in ten games for Monza.

“The perfect centre-forward would have been Taremi. Jonathan David is certainly an interesting profile. But I ask myself: are we sure that Colombo wouldn’t have been useful in this context?”, the club legend stated.

Jovic, as we know, is yet to find the back of the net for Milan. Stefano Pioli has been forced to overwork Olivier Giroud, who ideally would have a few games of rest. A hungry and young striker like Colombo could have been perfect, especially since there would have been playing time up for grabs.
