TMW: Milan management ‘really like’ Torino star Ricci but price tag could be an issue | OneFootball

The summer transfer window only closed one month ago but AC Milan are already plotting potential moved for the future, with Samuele Ricci of Torino reportedly a target.

In his Sunday editorial for Tuttomercatoweb.com, Niccolò Ceccarini spoke about a player who could be a potential reinforcement in midfield for Milan even as early as January in Ricci, who has been mentioned as a target by various sources.

He began by stating there is a ‘lot of attention’ on him after Luciano Spalletti called him up to the national team and he responded with two excellent performances against France and Israel in the UEFA Nations League.

Ceccarini adds that the midfielder ‘is an absolute guarantee and is destined to become a pillar for the Azzurri’ in the years to come. In Italy, Milan ‘are the club that could need him most now, also in light of Bennacer’s serious injury’.

The Rossoneri management ‘really like the Granata midfielder’ but just as was the case with Alessandro Buongiorno, Torino president Urbano Cairo’s asking price ‘would be very high’.

The discussion, therefore, is ‘more projected towards next season’ meaning that a move in the 2025 summer window is more likely than mid-season in the winter mercato.
