TMW: Milan begin talks with Torino over midfielder with interest concrete

AC Milan have ideas about how they want their midfield to look moving forward and they have opened talks with Torino over signing Samuele Ricci, a report claims.

Milan’s midfield depth risks being severely depleted from early in the new year.Ismael Bennacer will most likely leave for the Africa Cup of Nations in January while Tommaso Pobega will be out for around four months after undergoing surgery.

Rade Krunic seems to be out of favour and could leave, while Yacine Adli has disappeared from the rotations again, leaving Yunus Musah, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tijjani Reijnders with a lot of responsibility and some serious minutes to eat up. Musah and Loftus-Cheek have also had recent muscle issues too.

According to what is being reported by TMW, Milan have had ‘first contacts’ with Torino over Ricci of Torino. It is described as ‘concrete interest’ that ‘could become something more in the coming weeks’.

Milan are looking for reinforcements in that area, and the first approach follows months of watching Ricci’s performances for the Granata, who he joined from Empoli in 2022.

Now the time for the leap to a top club might have come, as per the report, and Milan are thinking about making a concrete move.

  1. Well, like the Riddler said: If you are justice, please do not lie. Management just said that they don’t want to spend 40mio on single player. So Ricci would be outta reach for now.

  2. So apparently fans actually think we are going to buy Ricci, Miranda, David, Guiessy, Kiwior, etc…all in Janaury lol. Do they forget Redbird are our owners???

    At best it will be Gabbia back from loan, we keep Krunic till summer, we stick with Jovic/Giroud combo up front and maybe just maybe we get Miranda for 3-5M. That is realistic. 5M budget for winter LOL. This is Redbird and money ball. No way we are spending 50M (Ricci, Guuiessy Miranda…) in January with these owners.

      1. Guirassy also has a french passport as he is born in France but whether the club will pay his release clause might be a different matter.

  3. Everyone seems to forget that Ricci is Italian. The only Italians Milan would/could get is a reserve goalie with expiring contract. And that’s a proven fact.

  4. Most of us saw this coming, but, the Management decided to stick with Pioli on keeping Krunic. We knew that Krunic would not be able to bench the new guys, and, selling him at time when the demand and price for him were high, was the best decision to make. We could have gotten more for him, and brought in Dominguez. I hope they bring in someone who is good enough for the position. Our defense needs good cover from the middle.
