In the early morning of July 7, Beijing time, Serie A giants AC Milan officially announced that Luca Romero officially joined the team without a visa, the 18-year-old Argentine talent midfielder signed a four-year contract with AC Milan, the new contract expires in the summer of 2027, and Luca Romero will wear the No. 18 red and black shirt to represent Milan in the new season.
Luca Romero is from the Spanish team of Mallorca, who joined Lazio in 2021, playing nine games for the 'Blue Eagles' that season. Luca Romero's playing time continued to increase last season, playing a total of 12 games for the team, starting two of them and scoring one goal. This summer, Luca Romero's contract with Lazio expired and the two sides failed to complete the extension, and AC Milan came out on top of the scramble to sign him.
Luca Romero has excellent technique at his feet, can adapt to multiple positions in the midfield, and is a very spiritual player. However, his physical condition is not very outstanding, 165cm tall and weighing only 64kg, in terms of confrontation, young Luca Romero does not have any advantage. At the same time, from the point of view of technical characteristics, Luca Romero's passing ability and shooting ability need to be strengthened, and from the current game, he still looks a little immature, and there is nothing particularly outstanding, so a lot of games are needed to improve his skills and experience.
Although Luca Romero has successfully joined Milan, his prospects for the Rossoneri are not bright, and the reason why Milan signed him is more like an investment in the future. First of all, Luca Romero is young enough, and has a certain talent, and has a certain probability of growing into a star; Secondly, the introduction of Luka Romero does not require a transfer fee, the player's annual salary is also very low, and the investment cost is minimal. However, it will not be easy for Luca Romero to win a place in the talented Milan.
Milan boss Pioli is not the kind of coach who is good at developing young players, and he lacks trust and patience with young players. Lazetic, an 18-year-old striker introduced in the winter window of 2022, has only played 7 minutes for Milan so far, even if the team suffers a "striker shortage", Piolinin can use the muddy Origi and refuse to give Lazetić a chance. Kalulu, who had previously been firmly in the main position, was sent back to the bench by Pioli because of a few mistakes.
So it will be very difficult for a young player like Luca Romero who is not very experienced and capable to get consistent playing time under Pioli. Adelie, who was in Ligue 1, came to Pioli with a difficult day, and Belgian rising star De Ketlare was on the verge of leaving. For Luca Romero, joining Milan is just the beginning of the challenge.
