Milan sees the signing of a playmaker as a priority, and they plan to make a move in January to bring Torino’s Samuele Ricci to the Stadio San Siro. While the Rossoneri are delighted with the performances of important players Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders, they believe there is a need to add additional depth to the midfield department and intend to do so by intensifying their pursuit of a player they have long monitored.
Directors Giorgio Furlani, Geoffry Moncada, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic all think that the 21-year-old is mature and skillful enough to have an early influence on Paulo Fonseca’s team.
According to Calciomercato.com, Diavolo has been keeping a close eye on Ricci lately, and his recent improvements have prompted the club to try to sign him in January rather than wait until next June.
Torino, on the other hand, is unlikely to move the youngster during the winter transfer window, with his price tag estimated to be in the €30-35 million range.
The sale of Fikayo Tomori, who has also been linked with a move to Juventus, might provide Milan with the financial resources to make a compelling offer to the Granata.
