AC Milan linked with fresh move for Torino’s Samuele Ricci
AC Milan’s interest in Torino’s Samuele Ricci has been making headlines for several weeks now, with new sporting director Fabio Paratici keen on securing the midfielder’s signature. As Milan looks to reinforce their squad for the upcoming season, Ricci has emerged as a top target, with Paratici viewing him as a valuable addition to the Rossoneri midfield.
Ricci has been a crucial player for Torino since joining the club, making 108 appearances, scoring four goals, and providing seven assists. His performances have not gone unnoticed, earning him a place in the Italian national team, where he has already played eight games. His ability to control the midfield, dictate play, and contribute both defensively and offensively has made him a sought-after player in Serie A.
Daniele Longo has reported that Ricci is currently at the top of Milan’s transfer wishlist. However, Milan are not the only club interested in the talented midfielder. Serie A rivals Inter Milan and Napoli have also expressed their interest in signing Ricci, making the race for his signature more competitive. Torino, aware of the growing interest in their player, is looking to take advantage of the situation by creating an auction to drive up the transfer fee. The club is reportedly hoping to fetch a sum as high as €40 million for Ricci.
Despite Torino’s strategy to maximize their financial gain, Milan are determined to move quickly in securing the midfielder. The Rossoneri are expected to accelerate negotiations in an attempt to finalize the deal before their competitors make significant advances. Paratici’s experience in the transfer market could play a crucial role in ensuring that Milan can land their target at a more reasonable price.
