On June 24, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma is targeting the signing of Atlético Madrid youngster Ricci.
Roma’s initial bid stands at €20 million, but Atlético Madrid is set to reject it, as they are seeking a €30 million fee. Highly regarded by the club’s hierarchy as part of Atlético’s comprehensive revival project, Ricci is seen as a key piece for the future at the Wanda Metropolitano. Consequently, Atlético isn’t expected to let him go easily.
However, reports suggest that if Roma manages to meet the €30 million asking price, there is a strong possibility of securing Ricci’s signature, considering he is not an undisputed starter at Atlético.
Italian media points out that the €30 million is a substantial amount for what Roma can currently afford.
This season, the 24-year-old Spanish forward made 47 appearances (20 as a starter) for the Rojiblancos, scoring 4 goals and providing 5 assists. His current market value on Transfermarkt is €25 million.
