Background: From AC Milan to Catanzaro and Back in Play
Liberali came through the AC Milan youth system and even featured briefly for the first team. He was sold to Catanzaro on a permanent free transfer last summer, but Milan retained a 50% sell-on clause on any future transfer. This structure now benefits the Rossoneri with a €3m windfall without needing to re-sign the player.
Recent reports indicated Milan (under new coach Rúben Amorim) showed interest in bringing him back, but Como appear to have won the race. The player and his agent Alessandro Lucci are expected to prioritize regular playing time.
