Both Inter and AC Milan are very keen on signing Torino midfielder Samuele Ricci.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, who report that the 21-year-old has emerged as a major target for both of the derby rivals, but that Granata coach Ivan Juric has told his club that the player is “hands off.”

Milan would like to bring Ricci in to become a regular partner to Sandro Tonali in midfield, whilst Inter would like to pair the 21-year-old with Nicolo Barella in what could prove to be the regular pairing for the Italian national team.

The Rossoneri would be ready to try and convince Torino by offering Tommaso Pobega as part of a player-plus-cash swap for Ricci.

However, signing the 21-year-old could prove to be tough, as Torino coach Juric has told his club that he sees the player as a key element to build around for next season onwards.
