AC Milan confirms the signing of midfielder Samuele Ricci from Torino on a permanent deal worth €25 million.
AC Milan has announced its first summer acquisition with the signing of Samuele Ricci from Torino. The 22-year-old midfielder joins the Rossoneri on a permanent deal worth €23 million plus €2 million in add-ons. Ricci has signed a five-year contract with Milan, expiring in 2030.
Ricci is seen as the natural replacement for Tijjani Reijnders, who moved to Manchester City after two impressive seasons with Milan. The young talent has already established himself in Serie A, earning ten caps for the Italian national team. Ricci is expected to make a significant impact in Massimiliano Allegri’s project for the new Rossoneri era.
Ricci began his career at Empoli, making his Serie A debut before joining Torino in 2022. He quickly became a mainstay of the team, impressing with his performances. His move to Milan is seen as a step up in quality, and he is expected to become a key figure in the team’s midfield.
With several players departing in recent weeks, Milan has been active in the transfer market to strengthen its squad. Ricci’s signing is a significant coup for the Rossoneri, and he is expected to play a crucial role in the team’s success this season.
