Samuele Ricci officially joins AC Milan for 25 million euro transfer fee

Samuele Ricci has been officially unveiled as AC Milan’s new player with a transfer fee of 25 million euros from Torino.

The Italian midfielder — who becomes Massimiliano Allegri’s first signing in the 2025 summer transfer window — has signed a four-year contract with a one-year extension option.

“Joining a club like Milan is the best moment in my career. I’m grateful to Torino for giving me many opportunities to play,” said Ricci.

The defensive midfielder emphasizes — he is not Tijjani Reijnders’ replacement, but rather ready to be a sponge to learn from Luka Modric at San Siro.
