Torino midfielder Ricci delighted by Man City rumours, says Carlos Volcano

Ricci is being targeted by City in January as they look to provide backup for Rodri, who is currently sidelined with a knee injury.

“It is very pleasing of course, but I have learned to understand football a bit now. When things go well, you are linked with these big clubs and it is gratifying because it means you are on the right track,” Ricci told RAI Sport.

“This is football, you can play 100 games and only one gets attention.

"I tried to do my best, but without going over the top, and that was better.”
