Igli Tare is about to begin his first summer at AC Milan, and the number one target has already been identified: Samuele Ricci.
As Corriere dello Sport report, Tare wants Milan to become more Italian. This is something that goes against the trend of the RedBird-branded project, characterised – until a few months ago – by the choice of coaches and players from abroad.

The idea is to build a squad with a few more homegrown players, capable of giving identity and a certain type of spirit to his teammates. And the sights have been set on a new man from Spalletti’s national team and captain of Torino.
Ricci: Milan’s number one target
Firstly, it is important to outline that Ricci has been liked by Milan for a long time. Geoffrey Moncada has followed him in recent years at the time of his explosion at Empoli and followed his growth in the Granata.
Now, the Rossoneri management considers him suitable for the big leap to a big team and to take the reins of the midfield (presumably three-man) of Massimiliano Allegri. The new coach likes a deep-lying playmaker to control the tempo of the game, and to contribute in both phases.
Ricci is that type of player. In the next week, Tare will try to make a move with Torino. The request of Cairo and Vagnati does not exceed €30m, but Milan will try to lower the cash part by inserting some counterparts, such as Yacine Adli or the youngsters on the launch pad of Milan Futuro.
Other funds
The next few days will also be decisive for the two most likely sales. Manchester City are expected to relaunch the offer for Tijjani Reijnders and Milan, to let him leave before June 10, are asking for €75m.
The Premier League side have not yet come close to that figure but Pep Guardiola, however, wants to be satisfied. Thus, the next few days could be crucial on the Reijnders front.
Al-Hilal would also like to buy Theo Hernandez in time for the Club World Cup. The Saudis have offered €18m net per year for the player and €20m to the Rossoneri.
However, the paper claims that the Frenchman would prefer to wait for a top European club and that Milan are not convinced by the offer, which needs to be improved.
give them Pobega, Colombo and Vasquez + 10M
Ricci replacement, they tried to sign Colombo several times, Milinkovic-Savic replacement
And your mom ….
Inter will buy Ricci we wait too long for all good players.
yeah Milan need to buy everyone by 1st of June or everyone will be gone
totally
Inter will definitely hijack the deal for Ricci if these incompetent clowns continue to contemplate. Same goes for Coppola and Leoni. Then we’ll be stuck with some no name foreign could be from Moncada’s handbook or some unwanted former Lazio loaned out deadwood.
Their budget ( this clown you mention) only 25m euro + money from sales player. They need money from tiji sale to buy ricci
Says the clown who is crying when the window literally just opened, are you high?
Check the calendar first before commenting
So how were City able to send their first offer already on Friday for Tijji? How did Liverpool sign Frimpong and are on the verge of sealing Wirtz? You dumbf*ck.
are you mentally ill? Why are you acting like the world is ending already ON THE 1st of JUNE
seriously whats wrong with you?
Shouldn’t you go and b*tch about Reijnders and Allegri news being fake?
City are in FIFA Club World Cup. Those teams have a special window that other teams don’t. Mandated by FIFA.
I wish inter signs ricci he is another mussah we need to upgrade not to downgrade ardon ashjari from club bragga is more talented and cheaper
Mugu, shut up!
Boss we don’t understand Nigerian language
Always ready to choose foreign players and hope for the best, over italian players doing well that know the lead. We will never spend money on a superstar, and as we create them if any they are sold.
Typical Milan Mercato:
1.Scout all the players, put it out in the media.
2. Lowball offer
3. Player gets bought by Juventus or inter for 5 million more.
Hilarious there are still some delusional fans on here that think we are suddenly going to sign all these players with the Tiji sale
We are projected to LOSE $$$$$ with no UCL football and some really think we will use all of that $$ back into the club?? LOL. Keep dreaming kids.
Our budget is 25M – pretty much the same as every year. Then add PLAYER SALES. Which means you have to lose to gain – Again. It didn’t work out last few season so many are skeptical it will work now. Zero track record to prove us wrong. 25M transfer kitty and player sales are difficult to buy new players especially when our trash players won’t get us much money and we will LOSE money from what we paid. Nobody wants the players that our disaster our management bought: Chuk, RLC, Musah, Pelligrino, Terracciano, Emerson, Jovic, Tammy, Pobega, Okafor, etc….and the list goes on and on. Pavlovic, Santi have lots to prove.
Should be an interesting summer. Hope Max shows balls and makes RedTurd spend and gives him more than a silly 25M transfer kitty.
Mad max was aware of the 25m transfer kitty before he took the job. Asking as he gets his 5m salary, all is well. Being the coach of AC Milan thrusts him back into the limelight. If things don’t go as planned he can always get his compensation package and walk away. It’s the fans that spend sleepless nights conducting permutations on behalf of a clearly shortsighted scouting department.
Jacopo Fazzini, Adrian Bernabé don’t forget it
