AC Milan have officially announced their first signing of the summer transfer window, as Samuele Ricci arrives from Torino.
Ricci has been linked with Milan repeatedly over the past few years even dating back to his time with Empoli. Rumours in the last few months seemed to suggest that it was only a matter of time before he joined the Rossoneri, and sure enough things got over the line.
This evening, on the club’s official website, the deal was announced as completed with the Italian midfielder signing a deal until 2029, with the option of an extra season.
“AC Milan announces that it has definitively acquired the sports performances of the footballer Samuele Ricci from Torino FC. The Italian midfielder has signed a contract with the Rossoneri Club until 30 June 2029 with an option right in favour of the Club for an extension until 30 June 2030.”
Fabrizio Romano tweeted the terms of the deal on Saturday afternoon: it will be a total package of €25m, which is broken down into a €23m fixed amount and then the rest in add-ons.
Ricci made 113 appearances for Torino across all competitions, with four goals and seven assists to his name in that time. He has also been capped 10 times by Italy at international level, and he can play both as a regista and as a mezzala.
