Milan, it’s done for Samuele Ricci: to Torino 25 million including bonuses

A.C. Milan place an important blow for their midfield. After days of tight negotiations, the Rossoneri have reached a final agreement with Torino to buy Samuele Ricci. The agreement was reached on the basis of 23 million euros plus 2 million in bonuses, for a total transaction of 25 million. The 2001-born midfielder, considered one of the most promising Italian profiles in the role of director, will sign a five-year contract with the via Aldo Rossi club.

Officiality will come early next week. The player will undergo routine medical examinations before putting his signature on the contract that will tie him to AC Milan until 2030. This is a targeted reinforcement for the Rossoneri’s midfield, which needed new quality. The farewell of Tijjani Reijnders had created a void despite the arrival of the experienced Luka Modric, yet to be made official. Ricci will be tasked with bringing balance and new vision to Milan’s midfield. Distinguished by a simple and elegant style of play, he is gifted with an’excellent individual technique.

Massimiliano Allegri, back on the Rossoneri bench this year, thus welcomes an ideal regista for his tactical project, a player who can grow rapidly under his guidance and become the pivot of the Rossoneri maneuver for seasons to come. With this graft, Milan is showing that it wants to focus on a mix of experience and young talent to return to prominence both in Serie A and in Europe.
