## Youth career
Torriani began playing at his hometown club, FC Cologno, starting at nearly five years of age. A Milan scout approached his father during a tournament organized by Cologno, and Torriani joined the AC Milan academy in July 2013 while still in the under-8 age category.[5](https://milanreports.com/2025/05/02/torriani-maignan-like-a-coach/) • [2](https://www.acmilan.com/en/news/articles/media/2025-05-21/official-statement-lorenzo-torriani) He progressed through every level of the Youth Sector and has played only for Milan in his career.[2](https://www.acmilan.com/en/news/articles/media/2025-05-21/official-statement-lorenzo-torriani) • [5](https://milanreports.com/2025/05/02/torriani-maignan-like-a-coach/)
His development was interrupted by injuries. In his own account, he spent almost a year and a half without playing due to injuries and decisions he had to respect, a period in which he says the mental side of the game was crucial.[5](https://milanreports.com/2025/05/02/torriani-maignan-like-a-coach/)
## First-team breakthrough
Torriani received his first first-team call-up in May 2024 under head coach [Stefano Pioli](https://www.edgepedia.org/stefano-pioli).[3](https://football-italia.net/torriani-milan-liverpool-debut-maignan-injury/) His rise accelerated during the 2024 pre-season tour of the United States under new coach [Paulo Fonseca](https://www.edgepedia.org/paulo-fonseca). With Marco Sportiello injured, Torriani started against Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Barcelona, making decisive saves in all three matches.[4](https://www.gazzetta.it/en/football/teams/milan/news/07-08-2026/milan-torriani-s-future-third-choice-or-transfer.shtml) In the friendly against Barcelona at [M&T Bank Stadium](https://www.edgepedia.org/m-and-t-bank-stadium) in Baltimore on 6 August 2024, he saved two penalties in a shootout.[6](https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Serie-A/Milan/17-09-2024/milan-chi-e-torriani-il-giovane-portiere-che-ha-esordito-in-champions.shtml)
**Champions League debut.** Torriani made his professional debut on 17 September 2024 in Milan's 2024-25 Champions League opener against Liverpool at [San Siro](https://www.edgepedia.org/san-siro). [Mike Maignan](https://www.edgepedia.org/mike-maignan), treated twice in the first half, left the pitch in the 51st minute, and Torriani came on with Liverpool leading 2-1. Liverpool added a third goal through [Dominik Szoboszlai](https://www.edgepedia.org/dominik-szoboszlai), which Torriani could not prevent, and Milan lost 1-3.[3](https://football-italia.net/torriani-milan-liverpool-debut-maignan-injury/) He later described the ovation from the San Siro crowd at his debut as giving him goosebumps.[5](https://milanreports.com/2025/05/02/torriani-maignan-like-a-coach/)
**Coppa Italia and Milan Futuro.** His second senior appearance came in the [Coppa Italia](https://www.edgepedia.org/coppa-italia) round of 16 against Sassuolo on 4 December 2024, when he replaced Sportiello at half-time in a 6-1 Milan win.[5](https://milanreports.com/2025/05/02/torriani-maignan-like-a-coach/) • [7](https://assets.website-files.com/6827dbc08ff3ea9a005f95ba/683074665a1f19b44246d9c8_48749041087.pdf) While officially part of the first-team squad, he also played six matches with [Milan Futuro](https://www.edgepedia.org/milan-futuro), the club's reserve side in [Serie C](https://www.edgepedia.org/serie-c), which he described as formative because it pits young players against experienced professionals in a more aggressive, less technical style of football.[5](https://milanreports.com/2025/05/02/torriani-maignan-like-a-coach/)
## Contract and squad status
On 21 May 2025, AC Milan announced that Torriani had extended his contract until 30 June 2030.[2](https://www.acmilan.com/en/news/articles/media/2025-05-21/official-statement-lorenzo-torriani) In the 2025-26 season the club planned his development around Milan Futuro while he remained part of the first-team squad.[4](https://www.gazzetta.it/en/football/teams/milan/news/07-08-2026/milan-torriani-s-future-third-choice-or-transfer.shtml)
At the start of the 2026-27 season he stood third in the pecking order behind Maignan and Pietro Terracciano. Pre-season performances, including a late save from [Hakan Çalhanoğlu](https://www.edgepedia.org/hakan-calhanoglu)'s angled strike in the derby, prompted discussion in the Italian press about whether a player of his age should remain a reserve rather than playing regularly.[4](https://www.gazzetta.it/en/football/teams/milan/news/07-08-2026/milan-torriani-s-future-third-choice-or-transfer.shtml)
## Playing style and influences
Torriani is a 1.97 m goalkeeper, unusually tall for the position, and right-footed.[1](https://www.transfermarkt.us/lorenzo-torriani/profil/spieler/939745) He credits working alongside Mike Maignan as central to his growth, saying that being with him is like having a coach who trains alongside you, and that Maignan continues to give him advice on and off the pitch.[5](https://milanreports.com/2025/05/02/torriani-maignan-like-a-coach/) He views goalkeeping as roughly 70 percent mental and 30 percent technical, arguing that without the right mindset across ninety minutes a goalkeeper cannot reach the highest levels.[5](https://milanreports.com/2025/05/02/torriani-maignan-like-a-coach/)
