Attributed to original sourceTransfer expert Matteo Moretto insists that Mason Mount is not on Milan’s shopping list this summer and adds that the Rossoneri have prioritised signing a centre-back after securing a deal for Gonçalo Ramos.
Milan are preparing to welcome their first summer signing as the Serie A giants reportedly struck a deal with PSG for Gonçalo Ramos this past weekend.
Some Italian sources reported on Sunday that, after signing a new centre-forward, the Rossoneri were keen to reinforce their central midfield area, setting their sights on Manchester United man Mount.
Moretto, however, pointed out on YouTube that the Rossoneri have a different transfer strategy, having prioritised signing a new central defender.

The Italian transfer expert insisted that Milan want to get a “high-level” reinforcement in central defence this summer.
Other Italian sources have already identified Benfica’s Antonio Silva as one of Milan’s main targets at the back.

After that and after signing a new central defender, they will likely focus on central midfield, but it seems improbable that they’ll try to go for Mount.
