AC Milan`s squad overhaul under Max Allegri is progressing. With Tijjani Reijnders and Kyle Walker reportedly on their way to Manchester City, the Rossoneri are close to finalizing a €30 million transfer for Torino midfielder Samuele Ricci.
The appointment of the new coach and sporting director Igli Tare signals a significant shift in strategy following a disappointing season where the club failed to secure European qualification.
It`s widely known that Milan is in advanced talks to sell Reijnders to Manchester City. However, Milan is reportedly seeking a total fee of €75 million, including potential add-ons.
Kyle Walker`s future was also determined some time ago; Milan will not convert his six-month loan spell at San Siro into a permanent transfer.
Milan Targets Ricci for Midfield Revamp
Instead, the Rossoneri are looking to strengthen their midfield with a different profile of player. Transfer experts Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano are confident that a deal with Torino for Ricci is imminent.
Milan had previously attempted to sign Ricci on multiple occasions over the past few years without success, but this time, it appears the transfer will finally happen.
According to MilanPress, the transfer fee is expected to be around €25 million, plus an additional €5-7 million in performance-related bonuses that are considered relatively easy to achieve.
The player himself has reportedly already agreed personal terms, ready to sign a five-year contract valued at approximately €3 million per season.
