AC Milan 1996-97 player shirt by Lotto believed to have been issued to Lentini for the 1996-97 season.
The most expensive player in the World in '92 Lentini was now surplus to requirements at the San Siro.
The car accident the Azzurri star suffered a year later cost him his place in the Rossoneri side and the conveyor belt of talent that passed through the club at the time meant his talent was not missed by Fabio Capello. After 3 seasons of working himself back to full fitness and competing for a regular first team slot the winger was loaned to Atalanta for the 96-97 campaign, moving to Bergamo in September '96. Following that move this shirt was no longer required but Milan did not fill his vacated #7 slot in this term. Lentini enjoyed a renaissance with Atalanta and was called-up to the Italy side again but he never returned to Milan and was sold to former club Torino in '97 for £2.5M.
