CM: Torino star makes Milan ‘priority’ over Inter – the plan to get the No.1 summer target | OneFootball

AC Milan had a very busy January window with five players arriving, but they are already planning ahead for the summer with Samuele Ricci the main target.

According to Calciomercato.com, Ricci is the name at the top of the list for Milan in view of next season. CEO Giorgio Furlani had even made a concrete attempt in the last days of the winter transfer window too.

He tried to land the Italian on loan with an obligation to buy that would kick in if certain objectives were met, but in the end the Granata decided to postpone his farewell until July, hoping for an international auction of sorts to drive the price up.

Ricci though is a profile that unites that Milan leadership in terms of unanimous approval. He is young, Italian and able to contribute right away: three characteristics that are just right for the Rossoneri.

An agreement between Milan and Ricci is virtually done over personal terms, now the more difficult one with president Urbano Cairo is needed. The asking price starts at above €30m which is certainly not a small figure.

Milan will try to include counterparts to lower the cash sum required. Samuele is ready for the leap to a top club and Inter also like him, but today his priority is the Rossoneri.
