Parma enters race for Empoli's Ricci

Samuele Ricci continues to be one of the most requested Serie B profiles. The class of '01 midfielder has been followed by Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Fiorentina. The viola club was especially close after meeting with Empoli management. The situation has changed, however, in the last hours. Parma and sporting director Marcello Carli has entered the race for the young talent.

Ricci appeared 30 times in Serie B last season and is valued at around 15 million euro. Parma continues to monitor the situation.
