Another report has claimed that AC Milan have made Torino star Samuele Ricci their big target ahead of the next summer transfer window.

Last night, a report from Gianluca Di Marzio claimed that the Milan management have set their sights on Ricci and that they are working ahead of time to try and beat the competition and land him ahead of 2025-26.

According to Calciomercato.com, the technical director Geoffrey Moncada has already begun operations to try to beat the rivals to his signature. The belief is that Ricci ‘perfectly represents’ the type of player that the club are looking for, as a director of the midfield.

The Italy international has been present in Milan’s scouting database for years now, since he was at Empoli in fact, and he was even a target last summer when Moncada had tested the waters with Torino before turning back to Youssouf Fofana.

The growth shown in this first part of the season has convinced the Rossoneri to work with more determination and concreteness on a profile appreciated by everyone. A January deal, though, appears to be off the table.

Milan have decided internally that they want to try and secure Ricci for next season, having held the first contacts with his agents. The main obstacles are the competition from the Premier League, and the asking price of no less than €30m that will be set by Urbano Cairo.

  1. mama maglione!

    Ricci + Bennacer in January… I won’t believe until I actually see it. Add Gnoto/Chiesa and we are finally doing something.

      1. Then what’s the point ? We have a midfield shallower than the Azov sea and we desperatly need players to at least secure a top 4 position.
        By the summer, Ricci’s price will probably go up, we don’t be able to outbid Inter or City or any team that will likely go for him and if we miss the UCL, we will lose players and won’t be able to purchase good ambitious players.

        1. “By the summer”

          Yeah, it’s too late by then. He probably isn’t interested in joining a team that missed the UCL boat due to poorly-built team and will be selling its key players as they want to play in the UCL next season.

  2. What a joke!!!!! How funny!!!!

    If any milan tifoso will ever believe that cardinale will ever allow milan to invest €30 million in Ricci, then this tifoso must be completely out of his rocket.
