Samuele Ricci was given the go-ahead to leave the AC Milan camp last night and complete his move to Como.
Fabrizio Romano among other sources reported on Thursday that Milan and Como had struck a deal over Ricci. It will involve a loan fee of €1.5m – with salary fully covered by the Lariani – and a €22m buy option clause with add-ons on top.

Ricci left the Hotel Melia last night, where the squad were in retreat ahead of the match against Venezia at San Siro tonight. His words to Sportitalia were relayed by MilanNews.
Do you feel comfortable at Milan?
“Of course I did. I’ll continue to support them, and I wish them all the best and a great season.”
It’s nice that you came to greet your team-mates…
“It was a nice greeting, I hung out with them a bit. I have a good relationship with everyone. I was happy to come, to greet everyone, the staff, those who work with Milan.”
You had the chance to see the Champions League draw…
“It will be tough, but we will play.”
How did your first meeting with Fabregas go?
“He made a great impression on me. I can’t wait to get to know him better.”
🚨 ESCLUSIVA – Ricci: “Milan, farò il tifo a distanza. Fabregas già mi ha colpito”‼️

Hmmm so sad
Almost no italian left in the squad, sad reality
Theres still Gabbia, Bartesaghi, Cisse, Camarda, Torriani, 2 Terracciano. If anything right now theres actually 1 more Italian in the squad than last season.
This guy doesn’t know cisse is Italian 😂
wait, I read on football-italia that como is stalling the transfer..
What a mistake
Good MF, who’s been cut after 1 season
And I’m not sure Como is a good place for him
I believe he will be better….like Fabregas in his days.
I have high hope for him when he is coming to ACM, thinking he can be like tonali, but so far his performance look like more worst than fofana. It is good for ricci find more playing time in other club rather than sit on the bench watching modric – rabbiot start every match
What a waste of money he was. A Complete flop. Not one good match for Milan. Thankfully he’s gone.
