AC Milan are actively pursuing Samuele Ricci, leading Torino to consider Empoli midfielder Jacopo Fazzini as a potential successor, particularly if Marco Baroni takes charge as their new coach.
A chain reaction is unfolding in the summer transfer window, triggered by the anticipated €75m transfer of Tijjani Reijnders from Milan to Manchester City.
Milan are able to make this move as they have already identified Ricci as their preferred replacement for Reijnders, a player they unsuccessfully pursued in January.
Fazzini Could Join Torino Midfield Following Ricci`s Departure
Torino are preparing for the potential departure of the Italy international, a move anticipated since Cesare Casadei`s arrival from Chelsea in January.
The Granata club is now eyeing Fazzini, whose availability at a potentially lower price is likely due to Empoli`s relegation to Serie B.
Baroni previously sought to sign Fazzini during his time at Lazio. If he becomes the new coach at Torino, a reunion and collaboration between the two becomes much more probable.
The 22-year-old Fazzini registered six goals and one assist in 22 appearances across all competitions for Empoli this past season.
