AC Milan have held a long-term interest in Samuele Ricci, but they are not the only club aware of the young midfielder’s talent, and the Rossoneri will face competition from Manchester City.
Since the turn of the year, Milan have been obsessed with the idea of revamping the midfield. In recent times, the area has been continuously scrutinised for several reasons, and even though the Rossoneri signed Youssouf Fofana in the summer, there are suggestions that the midfield is not a finished product.
Yesterday, it was claimed that the Diavolo lost against Bayer Leverkusen due to a lack of depth, and this brought to light the topic of the midfield. Perhaps, Milan will try to rectify the issue in the January window – the obvious choice would be Ricci.
The midfielder is certainly not an unknown quality to the Rossoneri, and he has been impressing in Serie A for some time now. A year ago, it is believed that Torino were asking for €25 million to sign their young talent, but that figure is closer to €40m now.
After spending so heavily on Fofana this summer, the Diavolo could be reluctant to spend so much again on a midfielder, but with Milan News reporting that Manchester City are interested in the youngster, it could be a now-or-never opportunity.
Pep Guardiola is reportedly ‘crazy’ about the player, and €40m would be an easy figure to part with for such a player.
Funny
Current Milan will never sign an italian player. So it’s never a competition.
As you see with the Italian nation team. Italian players aren’t top tier like the used to be.
The Italian team is doing just fine, they beat France recently so not sure what you are saying. Anyway from which nationality do you think we should be buying players since you judge induvidual players based on how their national team performs ?
I think Milan should go all out for Ricci, Rios and David, these players will raise the level of Milan’s squad, push it to be the best in seria A, if we are serious about our own stadium, we need to make statement on the pitch, the 3 aforementioned players have experience and are all young, would fit well with our ethos
Joke targets. Not a single one of them would raise our lvl
Game over, if Cairo’s asking price had not already ended it.
We’re definitely going to outbid them.
ac milan are allergic to italians we wont buy him.
Why should Milan overspend on Italians ?
Because it is Italian club ?
Let just remember the biggest prices Milan paid for Caldara and Bonucci and some relatively smaller prices for biggest stars who played for club.
Not all big spending are going to be successful.
You chose well your examples to make your point haha Pippo or Nesta were paid a high price and it turned out pretty well. And it’s not overspending when it’s the value of the player. The best players cost the most. Football 101. We already know what you can have for 15-20M€…
Everybody making such a big deal that he’s Italian. Loom at the national team. They haven’t been relevant in years. So clearly other nations players are higher quality. Overpaying on someone because they’re Italian is embarrassingly ignorant
He’s a flop, lmao…
« After spending so heavily on Fofana this summer »
🤣🤣🤣
Cardinale doesn’t spend over 15-20m usually. This player is out. Plus hardly a one Italian on this Italian club. The Italian futuros will likely be sold So we can bring in over the hill players like morata and Abraham
“After spending so heavily on Fofana this summer”
If you say so.
