The Turin-based paper reports that the Granata are unwilling to sell their star midway through the season, especially after Raoul Bellanova and Alessandro Buongiorno’s departures over the summer.

Man City are expected to bid again for Ricci, according to Tuttosport, but Torino won’t change their mind.

Ricci has emerged as a transfer target for Milan and Napoli as well, but the Serie A sides are unlikely to place bids in the January transfer window.

According to the report, Alessandro Buongiorno, a former Torino defender, would love to reunite with his ex-teammate Ricci at the Stadio Maradona, even suggesting Antonio Conte to sign the Italian playmaker.
