Como agrees to loan deal for Ricci from Milan with buy option
Summary

Samuele Ricci is set to join Como on loan from AC Milan, with an option to buy at the end of the season. The move hinges on Como making space in their squad by selling a current midfielder, likely Luca Mazzitelli to Hellas Verona. Ricci, who has seen limited playing time at Milan, made 34 appearances since his €23 million transfer from Torino last summer, scoring one goal and providing four assists. Both Atalanta and Maurizio Sarri previously showed interest in Ricci, but no negotiations progressed significantly. Ricci turns 25 on August 21.
