It now seems as if the Citizens aren’t the only English club keen on Ricci.
InterLive have reported that Fabio Paratici, whose suggestions are still paid attention to at Tottenham, has a liking for the Azzurri midfielder.

The midfielder has been flattered by the links with Manchester City and he has made that clear, which suggests that he could be looking at the next big step in his career soon.
