Cairo states that Ricci’s exit is ‘unfounded’ amid Milan links: “No foundation” | OneFootball

Samuele Ricci is one of AC Milan’s big targets this summer, but the Rossoneri are not the only club in pursuit as it stands.

It seems, for the second summer in a row, Torino will be raided for their top talents. Last summer, it was Alessandro Buongiorno, and this summer, it seems like Ricci at least will depart, whilst rumours also suggest Vanja Milinkovic-Savic could leave.

The duo have been exceptional for Toro this season, and as a result, both have gained suitors across Europe, with Manchester City even taking an interest in the midfielder. However, he is the top target for Milan, and there seems to be an infatuation with the talent.

As negotiations with Cairo went last summer, though, we know it will not be an easy move to make happen, so the groundwork must be laid early.

Cairo spoke to Radio Kiss Kiss this afternoon, and his words have been relayed by Sky Italia.

“At the moment, we haven’t spoken to anyone, and these are rumours that have no foundation. The goalkeeper clause? These are things that can be changed, and that’s not a given. he’s a great goalkeeper, among the best in Europe.”
