AC Milan may use Luka Jovic as a counteroffer to Torino to facilitate the transfer of Samuele Ricci.

Torino is negotiating a transfer for Luka Jovic, who is currently playing little at Milan and is not part of Paulo Fonseca's plans. Jovic desires more playing time, making Torino a potential option. Milan is interested in including a preferential option for Samuele Ricci in the summer as part of the deal.

Fali Ramadani is considering transferring his client, Luka Jovic, to Torino in January. Torino needs a striker to replace Duvan Zapata and has contacted Ramadani about Jovic, who earns 2.5 million euros. Though Jovic is hesitant to leave Milan and prefers Europe, he's a top candidate for Torino. Ibrahimovic supports the transfer if it aids Milan's pursuit of Samuele Ricci next season.

Following Duvan Zapata's injury, Torino is in search of a striker. Despite considering options like Beto and Giovanni Simeone, Torino is keeping the door open for Jovic due to difficulties in activating other options. According to Tuttosport, the technical director Davide Vagnati is evaluating Jovic's profile, which seems to be a simpler operation to set up.
