AC Milan are orchestrating a clever transfer strategy that could see Luka Jovic move to Torino, potentially paving the way for Samuele Ricci to join the Rossoneri. At the center of this intricate plan is Fali Ramadani, one of the most influential and wealthy football agents in the world.
Calciomercato report that Ramadani, who represents Jovic, could play a crucial role in facilitating the Serbian striker’s move to Torino in January. However, the transfer is not without its challenges. Jovic is reportedly hesitant about leaving Milan mid-season and would prefer to continue playing in European competitions if he were to move.
Despite these hurdles, Torino is pressing ahead with their interest. The club’s sporting director, Davide Vagnati, has already initiated preliminary discussions with Ramadani to explore the feasibility of signing Jovic. The striker’s current salary of 2.5 million euros would make him one of the highest-paid players at Torino, matching only Duvan Zapata’s wages, but it remains within the club’s financial reach.
For Milan, this potential move is more than just offloading a player. It’s part of a larger strategy overseen by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who now holds a key role in Milan’s management. Ibrahimovic is not opposed to Jovic’s departure and might even facilitate the transfer to Torino under favorable terms. The ultimate goal? To secure a moral right of first refusal on Samuele Ricci, Milan’s prime target for the upcoming season.
Ricci, the talented midfielder currently at Torino, has caught Milan’s eye, and the club sees this potential deal as a stepping stone to acquiring him. By allowing Jovic to join Torino, Milan hopes to establish goodwill and a strategic advantage in future negotiations for Ricci.
This complex maneuver showcases Milan’s long-term planning and Ibrahimovic’s growing influence in the club’s transfer strategies. If successful, it could address Torino’s need for a striker while simultaneously positioning Milan favorably for their midfield reinforcement plans.
