Transfer expert explains Milan’s stance on Mount and next priority after Ramos deal | OneFootball

Transfer 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.

Moretto said Mount is not on Milan’s radar at the moment and that the Rossoneri are “110%” focused on signing a new centre-back.

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.

As for new central midfielders, Moretto argued that Milan must first offload some of those who will return to the club after a one-season loan spell.

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.
