US Cremonese announced on July 8 2026 the temporary transfer of Lapo Nava to Alcione Milano, ending his season without any official appearances for the gray‑red side.

Why did Nava leave Cremonese?

Nava, born in 2004, joined from Milan last summer. Throughout the 2025‑26 campaign he could not displace Emil Audero and Marco Silvestri, the two starting goalkeepers. Lack of playing time prompted him to look for a club where he could feature regularly, and Alcione Milano offered that chance in Serie C.

How does this fit the goalkeeper market?

The move coincides with Federico Agazzi’s return to Cremona after a previous loan spell at the same Milanese club. With Nava’s departure, Cremonese retains two options: Audero as starter and Silvestri as backup. Nava is expected to serve as a third‑choice keeper at Milano, where competition is lighter.

What are Nava’s prospects at Milano?

At Alcione Milano, the young keeper will train with the first team and, if his performances impress, could earn minutes in the league. The club, battling for promotion to Serie B, sees Nava as depth for the defensive unit.

What does this mean for US Cremonese?

Nava’s free loan frees a roster spot and lets the coach focus resources on the two existing goalkeepers. Moreover, the club can track the youngster’s development in a competitive setting, assessing a possible return or a permanent sale later.

The club’s official statement highlighted the intention to provide Nava with a growth path suited to his potential.
