AC Milan coach Ruben Amorim has reportedly requested the return of midfielder Mattia Liberali to the club, but the player's preference lies with Como.
Liberali, who impressed in Serie B with Catanzaro, is seeking guaranteed playing time in the top flight, which he believes Como can offer more readily than Milan.
Milan could re-sign their youth academy product for €3 million due to a 50% sell-on clause from his previous transfer to Catanzaro, where his release clause is set at €6 million.
The 19-year-old's decision on playing opportunities is expected to be pivotal in his next career move.
