AC Milan is very close to completing the signing of Samuele Ricci from Torino. This morning’s talks between the Torino and Milan management led to a strong, likely decisive, acceleration. The agreement between the two parties is nearly finalized, with only a few details left to iron out.
Torino's discount?
Igli Tare is working on multiple fronts to find the right profiles for Max Allegri’s style of play. Ricci’s candidacy, however, goes back some time, as the Rossoneri had already tried to sign the talented Torino midfielder during the January transfer window. What proved decisive was Milan’s strategy in recent weeks: they deliberately slowed down negotiations while asking Torino for a significant discount from the initial €33 million valuation. That discount eventually came, right on schedule.
What are the discussed figures for Samuele Ricci's possible transfer to AC Milan?
The negotiations between Milan and Torino are at a very advanced stage and could be concluded within hours. The two clubs are finalizing an agreement at 25 million euros, including bonuses. There has been constant contact between Milan and Torino, as the Rossoneri are eager to seal the Ricci deal before other Italian clubs like Napoli or Inter can make a move.
Agreement with Samuele Ricci in place:
Samuele is waiting for the green light to travel to Milan and undergo his medical with the club. An agreement with the Rossoneri has already been in place since January for a four-year contract—only the final steps remain.
