AC Milan have not given up on signing Samuele Ricci after the links in recent windows, and on the contrary they are planning a summer assault.
Torino had to do without Ricci in midfield against Como over the weekend and his absence was widely felt in that area of the pitch, which was the most fragile. He is becoming more and more of an important player, and Torino know they will struggle to keep him this summer.
Tuttosport (via MilanPress) report this morning, Milan do not want to see an auction break out for Ricci or for any competitors to get ahead of them. The Rossoneri have been after the Italian for a long time and even made an attempt in January.
Torino’s president Urbano Cairo rejected the attempts, because he wanted to keep Ricci at least until the end of the season. He even signed a renewal but it is believed that a gentleman’s agreement is part of it, so now the Rossoneri want to get hold of the former Empoli man before anyone else.
The asking price starts from a base of €35-40m, and – knowing Cairo – it is unlikely that he will leave for a lower figure. There will be negotiations, also because the Rossoneri value him less and do not seem convinced by the excessively high figure.
Ricci – 25M + 10% resale + Colombo
Comuzzo – Adli + 15-20M
Coppola – 10-15M
Zeroli and Alexis return
we get 40-45M from other loans and also have RLC, Emerson, Terracianno, Okafor, Chukwueze to sell… also, if we keep Walker and Tomori, we could sell Thiaw for 35-40M.
that leaves subs for Leao and Puli.

Sometimes I read your posts and truly wonder how any of what you write computes in your head… Fascinating.
I’ve always liked dis Lang guy but now I prefer paixao much more to Lang. I trust d new sporting director will know beta.
determined to win race and penny pinching do not go together. If you are “determined”, see how decisive other clubs are. Liverpool got deals for Luis Diaz, McAllister quickly, ManCity gets deals done quickly. Sure, you overpay 1M here or there but in the context of a 5yr contract a 1-2M in fees is nothing. IF you feel the player is what you need and you are truly determined. We never are. When was the last time we were this decisive? We penny pinched Tiji, Fofana, Puli, Santi and let’s not talk about the full window we spent on CDK. In an alternate universe, we were “decisive”, the kid gets to Milan early and flourish.
not one season under Redbird did we have our new players the first dau of training camp. they don’t understand the money rgey save in negotiations will cost them the whole season in poorer performances.
Champions not of europe but of empty bla bla bla.
Ready to bet my last €, milan will try to make us believe that ricci will join us but will talk and talk with torino for 3 whole months and he will then join napoli or juve or inter …. same old story like buongiorno …..
