Club career
Born in Vimercate, close to Milan, Colombo is an product of the A.C. Milan youth academy. His goal tally in the club's youth teams led to him making his debut for the Primavera (under-17) 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 Paquetá after 82 minutes in a 0−0 draw at home to Juventus in the Coppa Italia.[2] He made his Serie A debut in a 5−1 home win against Bologna on 18 July 2020.[3][4]
On 5 September 2020, he scored his first senior goal in a 4–1 win against A.C. Monza in a friendly match.[5]
International career
Colombo is a member of the Italy U19 side.
