AC Milan Nears Ricci Deal, Inter Rejects Augusto Bid

AC Milan are nearing completion of a transfer for Torino midfielder Samuele Ricci, having submitted an improved offer and expecting Ricci to sign a five-year contract. The club is also negotiating with Torino over striker Lorenzo Colombo, with a loan move and option to buy being discussed. This marks a shift from earlier reported pursuits of Granit Xhaka, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Andreas Christensen, with those targets no longer mentioned. Inter Milan have rejected Atletico Madrid's bid for Carlos Augusto, confirming his importance under new coach Cristian Chivu. Croatian midfielder Petar Sucic has joined Inter, citing advice from compatriots and his ambition to win trophies. Meanwhile, Manchester United are evaluating goalkeepers Marco Carnesecchi and Emiliano Martínez as potential replacements for André Onana, though any deal may depend on outgoing transfers.
