Once dubbed the "new Gigi Meroni", Lentini began his senior career with hometown club Torino in 1986, with whom he won a Serie B title and the Mitropa Cup; in 1992, Lentini became the then-most expensive player when he joined Milan in a transfer worth a reported 18.5 billion Italian lire (€14 million), where he won three Serie A titles, three Supercoppas Italiana, and the UEFA Champions League. He suffered a serious car crash in 1993, which derailed his career.
