AC Milan are already planning for the future, with Samuele Ricci emerging as one of their primary transfer targets. The Rossoneri have decided to invest in the Torino and Italian national team midfielder, aiming to beat out the competition for his signature.
Gianluca Di Marcio reports how Ricci has established himself as a key player for Luciano Spalletti’s Italian national team this season. Milan’s strategy is to move quickly and secure the player’s future, potentially blocking other interested clubs from making a move.
While a January transfer seems unlikely, a summer move appears more feasible. Milan’s objective is to lay the groundwork now, potentially reaching an agreement with the player to join them in the future. This proactive approach could give them an edge over other suitors.
Meanwhile, Torino are in the process of negotiating a contract renewal with Ricci, adding another layer of complexity to Milan’s pursuit.
The young midfielder has already amassed an impressive 105 appearances in Serie A. After making his debut in Serie B with Empoli and helping them secure promotion to Serie A under Alessio Dionisi in 2021, Ricci moved to Torino in January 2022. This season, under coach Paolo Vanoli, he has featured in 14 matches across all competitions. Additionally, Ricci has earned six caps for the Italian national team, further underlining his growing stature in Italian football.
