Samuele Ricci is certainly one of the best young profiles in Italian football: he will not stay at Torino, he will go to a big Serie A team. Here’s which one
The month of July has begun, the summer transfer market session has officially begun, with clubs intending to strengthen their squads by focusing on big names or emerging players who have done well during the last season. This is the case of the latter Samuel Riccione of the most interesting young midfielders in Serie A.
Playing a five-year period at a high level between Empoli and Torino, the 2001 Tuscan has accumulated a massive amount of experience and now seems ready to make the leap in quality: according to the rumors of these days, there are several big names in Italian football on his trail. One above all: Antonio Conte’s Napoli.
Ricci in Napoli’s sights: he is Conte’s chosen one. The situation
The rumors in question report that, as soon as he arrived in the shadow of Vesuvius, the Salento coach would have made president Aurelio De Laurentiis and his company staff a list of players to focus on for the near future. In that list there would be the profile of Ricci, who represents – according to Conte – the right man to give new life to the blue midfield. Midfield that, as is known, will no longer include the names of Piotr Zielinski, Diego Demme and Junior Traorè.
Coming to the details of the deal, the news is that Torino would have opened up to the transfer of the playerunderlining however that whoever wants to buy him will not enjoy any particular discounts in terms of the financial aspect. Napoli, for its part, has been following Ricci for several years and would like to close the matter immediately to avoid auctions being triggered with other interested clubs. The operation could go through for a figure between 18 to 25 million euros. Money that De Laurentiis would gladly spend considering the player’s obvious potential and the prospect of being able to resell him at a much higher price.
For the record, always according to the rumours, the negotiation that would bring the Pontedera native to the Campania capital would be unrelated to the one underway between Napoli and Torino for the defender Alessandro Buongiornoanother priority reported by the former CT of the National team to the leaders of the Neapolitan team. We will see what the evolutions will be in the next few hours.
