Samuele Ricci, the 23-year-old midfielder from Torino, has become one of the most sought-after young talents in Europe and according to reports from Fichajes, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are all keen on securing his signature next year.
Ricci, valued at €28 million by Transfermarkt, has attracted interest from these top clubs due to his impressive performances and his potential for the future.
For Chelsea, strengthening the midfield is a key priority, and Ricci is seen as an ideal addition to their squad. The Italian international would provide the team with depth and competitiveness in the middle of the park, offering more rotation options, particularly if Enzo Fernandez were to leave.
There is interest from Manchester City as well
Furthermore, Manchester City are also closely monitoring Ricci’s situation. The Premier League champions are looking for ways to replace or support Rodri, who is currently sidelined with a long-term injury.
Ricci’s defensive qualities and ability to break up play could be crucial for City’s midfield, especially in maintaining stability during important fixtures.
His style of play would complement Pep Guardiola’s tactics, bringing more strength and security to the middle of the pitch.
On the other hand, Real Madrid are also believed to be targeting Ricci. If Aurelien Tchouameni decides to leave the club, Ricci would be a strong candidate to fill his shoes.
His combination of defensive solidity and creativity in midfield makes him an ideal fit for Madrid’s style of play. The young midfielder’s decision will be eagerly awaited, as his next move could shape the future of one of Europe’s elite clubs.
With such high-profile clubs vying for his signature, Ricci’s career is set to take an exciting turn in the coming months.
