Ricci: Torino tell Milan to wait after trying again in January | OneFootball

Milan are still looking to make additions in the January transfer window, but have been told to wait until the summer if they are to secure a deal for Tirno midfielder and Italy international Samuele Ricci.

The Rossoneri have made one signing in January so far, welcoming England international Kyle Walker from Manchester City on loan with an option to buy. There are also ongoing discussions for Mexico striker Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord.

Ricci is also a player Milan have been targeting for several months of the 2024-25 season, but Torino remain adamant that they will not sanction a sale in January.

According to reports from Tuttosport, Milan recently tried again to persuade Torino into selling Ricci this month, but they were met by a complete refusal from the Granata.

Torino have stuck with the same message: They value Ricci at €40m and will only listen to offers in the summer transfer window and not in January.

The 23-year-old midfielder has been linked with a number of clubs across Europe, most notably with Manchester City, but Tuttosport claim that Napoli and even possibly Atalanta have expressed an interest in recent weeks.
