Milan are close to securing the services of Italian midfielder Ricci.

Ricci close to Milan transfer

As I reported on Wednesday, the 23-year-old has already agreed to personal terms with the Rossoneri.

Milan are now working to finalise a deal with Torino and expect to complete the transfer for €25m including add-ons.

Milan director Igli Tare has recently confirmed that the Rossoneri will sign two midfielders, plus Luka Modric, who is set to move to San Siro on a free transfer after his contract with Real Madrid expires.

Milan strategies in midfield

Milan still follow Bayer Leverkusen star Granit Xhaka, but the Rossoneri are also big admirers of Club Brugge talent Ardon Jashari.

The Serie A giants made their opening bid at the beginning of June, as Football Italia exclusively reported, but they require a new proposal of around €35m, ideally as a fixed fee, to beat the competition.

Jashari wants to join Milan, but must wait for an agreement between the two clubs.
