Samuele Ricci has been seriously linked with a move to AC Milan for almost a year now, if not longer, and it seems this will continue.

There has been a constant flirting with the idea of Ricci recently. However, Milan are seemingly unsure about the midfielder. His quality is known, but whether he is the right profile to add to the midfield is a holdup.
Luka Modric, Granit Xhaka and Javi Guerra represent the three standouts, it seems, with the former already done by all accounts. With this, you would assume that there is no room for the Torino star, but the links continue.
The situation
With clarity needed on things, Fabrizio Romano spoke on his YouTube channel about the interest, and his words have been relayed by Milan News.
“We also expect contacts for Samuele Ricci. We are not aware of any negotiations between Torino and Atalanta for the Azzurri midfielder. Milan continues to make internal evaluations on Ricci, which they have been working on for months.
“The Rossoneri must decide whether to sink or not. The internal evaluations are ongoing.”
From that, it seems that there will still be some time before we know what the Rossoneri will do. The last time a similar event occurred, Alessandro Buongiorno headed to Napoli, where he won the Scudetto. A decision is needed quickly, in other words.
