After seeing little action under Stefano Pioli this season, the 19-year-old Argentine attacker signed a six-month loan agreement with Almeria this week without the option to purchase. With this move, he will have more regular playing time to further his development. Romero left Lazio after his contract ended in the summer of last year, signing for Milan on a free transfer. In his first half-year with the club, he played just 155 minutes in five games and was unable to establish himself in the starting lineup.
Luka Romero talked about his loan transfer to Almeria and the reasons for his decision to seek for his departure from Milan this month in a TMW interview. "When I'm on the pitch, I go and try to help out as much as I can and I try to enjoy this experience." I've experienced playing on teams under pressure, so I'm ready for anything that may arise. I'm content that I'm back in Spain.
