โ€œI am very happy, Forza Milan,โ€ he told reporters when leaving the Casa Milan headquarters this evening.

Ricci turns 24 next month and already has 10 senior caps for Italy under his belt.

A product of the Empoli youth academy, he moved to Torino initially on loan in January 2022 with the obligation to buy for a total โ‚ฌ9.5m plus bonuses and a 10 per cent cut of the sell-on fee.
