New Milan signing Luka Romero has revealed the Lazio player who inspired him to choose the Rossoneri as his next club. Milan announced the signing of the 18-year-old on a Bosman deal with an official statement, making him the youngest signing of the season. He becomes the seven-time European champions’ fourth signing of the summer, after Marco Sportiello, Lorenzo Colombo and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Speaking to Milan TV (via Tuttomercatoweb), Romero disclosed the conversation he had with 2021/22 Scudetto-winning campaign captain Alessio Romagnoli, which motivated him to move to San Siro.
“I spoke to Romagnoli before coming here, he told me it’s a club with a lot of history and I’ll find myself very well.”
