Ricci has already reached an agreement with the Rossoneri, while the Diavoli are confident of securing his services in a €25m deal, including add-ons.
Ricci is currently on holiday outside Italy, so he cannot undergo medical tests with the Rossoneri in the coming days. However, his desire to join the Rossoneri will soon be fulfilled, as his transfer to San Siro is just a matter of time.

BBC Sport: Saudi Pro League could offer big money Chelsea star exit from Stamford Bridge nightmare
Clubs in Saudi Arabia are monitoring the situation surrounding Joao Felix this summer according to journalist Nizaar Kinsella. Chelsea are once again set for a busy summer and have already completed the signing of Liam Delap, with more new faces expected to follow. Advertisement The Blues are in the market for a centre back, versatile forward and left winger as they look to strengthen Enzo Maresca's squad ahead of the new season. Saudi Pro League clubs monitoring Joao Felix Whilst incomings are important, outgoings are equally crucial this summer, and Chelsea have as many as ten players they are looking to offload. Despite only joining last summer from Atletico Madrid for £45m Felix falls into that category, and the 25-year-old spent the second half of the season on loan at AC Milan. Felix is set to leave Chelsea despite only joining last summer. (Photo by) Advertisement Milan made it very clear they wouldn't be signing Felix on a permanent basis, and the Portugal international managed just three goals and one assist in 21 appearances in all competitions. The Portuguese was left out of the Chelsea squad for the Club World Cup, and Felix has been linked with a return to former club Benfica. Progress on a new club for Felix has been slow, but Kinsella in his piece for BBC Sport has reported clubs in Saudi Arabia are monitoring his availability. It's unclear how much Chelsea would want for Felix or whether they would accept a loan, but Saudi are likely to offer them the highest transfer fee. Christopher Nkunku set to leave Felix isn't the only attacker heading for the Stamford Bridge exit door this summer, and it seems highly likely Christopher Nkunku will join him.

Bayern Munich to help Liverpool strike MOMENTOUS Alexander Isak deal
Liverpool have spent close to £200m so far during this transfer window. Landmark arrivals include Florian Wirtz in a deal potentially worth £116m as well as Milos Kerkez (£45m) and Jeremie Frimpong (£29.5m). It now appears the Reds will enter a phase of selling - before later committing to other transfers further down the line. The club have got ambitions to add a new centre-forward and could probably use a new centre-back given the scale of uncertainty in the position. Advertisement Before that, outgoings are required. Alexander Isak is thought to be the first-pick at No9. Newcastle woud like to sign him to a new contract but this deal doesn't appear as improbable as it once did. The Swede would certainly be attracted by the bright lights of Anfield but Richard Hughes and Arne Slot will have to come up with a fee of over £100m as well as a sizeable wage packet. Bayern frustrated in winger chase In order to do so, they could opt to offload one or more of their current forward options. It looks like Dominik Szoboszlai is set to stay in the lineup, meaning Wirtz reverting to a left-sided starting role. Advertisement If the 22-year-old plays from the left then there will be no need for both Cody Gakpo and Luis Diaz. One could be sold and Bayern Munich are now reported to be interested in both. The Bavarians had ambitions of adding Nico Williams as a replacement for Leroy Sane but it looks like he could be off to Barcelona if they can get a deal done with Athletic Club. And Christian Falk has told Caught Offside that the German champions have Gakpo and Diaz in line as a backup option. Bayern want Diaz AND Gakpo 'Max Eberl should already be looking for alternative candidates for the wing. Liverpool's Cody Gakpo, for example, could be back on the radar,' he said. Advertisement 'The player is said to be a personal favourite of Eberl. 'After initial talks with the Gakpo side, there has been no contact with the agents recently. That could now quickly change again. Teammate Luis Diaz also remains a candidate.' © IMAGO Bayern can help Liverpool land Isak Diaz is out of contract in 2027 - and could be sold this summer in order to avoid losing him for a diminished fee. Gakpo is two years younger and under contract for a year longer - and would fetch a higher price in the market. With Diaz being valued by the club at around €80m, it means Gakpo could be in the bracket higher than that - potentially up to €100m. Should Liverpool achieve a sale of Gakpo in that category then it would radically boost their chances of signing Isak further on in the window.

Hoops promotion winner makes return to club
OXFORD City have announced the return of midfielder Latrell Humphrey-Ewers ahead of the 2025/26 season. The 22-year-old was formerly part of the Reading academy and represented the England Under-16s alongside the likes of Liverpool attacker Harvey Elliott and Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford. After being released by the Royals, Humphrey-Ewers joined the Velocity Football programme at the Hoops, breaking into the first team during the 2022/23 campaign.

The midfielder was offered a new deal to stay with the Hoops last summer, but moved to Bath City in National League South, spending the latter part of the campaign on loan at Taunton Town. Humphrey-Ewers told the Hoops website: 'I'm really happy to be back. I feel like it was the right time to come back, and I'm really happy to be here. 'I learnt a lot about my game whilst on loan with Taunton Town last season, and I'm ready to show that here under the gaffer and with the new players.' Hoops manager Ross Jenkins added: 'I'm delighted to see Latrell back in an Oxford City shirt. He's someone we as a club have worked with for a number of seasons, and he's a player who's worked his way through the Velocity programme and into first team football. I'm looking forward to seeing him step up again.'
