Arsenal is eyeing a move for Torino star Samuele Ricci as he continues to impress as part of Italy’s national team.
Under Luciano Spalletti, Italy is developing a new playing style, and the coach has been focusing on players with different profiles. This has created opportunities for the talented Ricci, and Arsenal has been tracking the midfielder for some time.
The Gunners may lose Jorginho and Thomas Partey at the end of this season, as both midfielders are set to reach the end of their contracts. Arsenal will need to decide whether to retain them or replace them with younger players, which is why they are interested in the 23-year-old Ricci.
However, Manchester City is also keen on signing him. According to an exclusive report from Caught Offside, both Arsenal and City are preparing to compete for his signature.
City recently lost Rodri to a long-term injury, which could prompt them to make a move for Ricci in January, potentially disrupting Arsenal’s summer plans.
An obstacle both clubs are facing is Torino’s valuation of the player at €50 million, while both Arsenal and City believe he is worth closer to €30 million.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Ricci has been one of the finest players in the Italian top flight this season and he is young enough to still develop if we add him to our squad in the summer.
