AC Milan Want To Quickly Wrap Up Signing Of Inter Milan Target Torino & Italy Midfielder | OneFootball

AC Milan are reportedly looking to beat fierce rivals Inter to the signature of sought-after Torino midfielder Samuele Ricci.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, last season’s Serie A runners-up contemplate accelerating their pursuit of the Italy international.

Samuele Ricci has established himself as one of Europe’s most in-demand midfielders.

In addition to locking down a starting berth at Torino, he’s become omnipresent in Luciano Spalletti’s set-up.

Therefore, his noticeable rise to stardom has drawn attention from numerous top European clubs.

Milan and Inter aren’t the only interested parties.

Indeed, perennial Premier League champions Manchester City are also in the mix.

With Rodri sidelined for the rest of the season with a knee injury, Pep Guardiola is in the market for a new deep-lying playmaker.

Ricci ticks all the boxes for the type of player the Spanish manager is keen to recruit.

However, Torino president Urbano Cairo is reluctant to offload his prized asset in the January transfer window.

Cairo would ideally sell the 23-year-old next summer at a premium price.

AC Milan Want to Lure Inter Milan Target Samuele Ricci to San Siro

Aware of Manchester City’s interest, Italian giants Milan are ready to step up their bid to land Ricci.

Meanwhile, Torino are hopeful of extending the midfielder’s contract.

Ricci’s current deal in Turin runs out in 2026.

It makes him a perfect target for clubs seeking cut-price agreements.

Therefore, the Rossoneri aim to find a quick resolution for his transfer to San Siro.

Although they will likely fail to sign him in January, they want to lay the groundwork for his arrival next summer.

On the other hand, the player seems ready to take his career to the next step.

After two years at Torino, it’s time for Ricci to make a quantum leap, with Milan and Inter waiting in the wings.
