“Amorim approves the hiring of Mason Mount for AC Milan.”

Rúben Amorim did not waste any time endorsing AC Milan’s bid for Mason Mount, in a move that promises to shake up the European transfer market this summer. The Portuguese coach, who recently took over the reins of the rossoneri following his departure from Manchester, sees Mount as the key element to revolutionize Milan’s midfield and restore ambition to the historic club of San Siro.

AC Milan, determined to return to prominence both in Serie A and European competitions, has already sounded the alarm by securing Gonçalo Ramos, the Portuguese international forward, in a record transfer from Paris Saint-Germain. Now, the Italian club’s management is moving forward with the signing of Mason Mount, the attacking midfielder from Manchester United, after the player was offered to the Lombardy club. According to Italian media, negotiations between Milan and United have already begun, with the value of the English international estimated at around 25 million euros – a figure that the Italians believe they can lower, given the current situation of the player at Old Trafford.

The relevance of this potential transfer is undeniable. Mount, at 27 years old, has never managed to establish himself as the successor to Bruno Fernandes at the heart of the Red Devils’ game and feels excluded from the new project led by Michael Carrick, who aims to revamp the midfield and prioritize other options. A move to Milan would not only signify a fresh start for the Englishman but also an opportunity for the Rossoneri to assemble a lethal attacking front, with Mount playing behind Gonçalo Ramos and alongside Christian Pulisic, thereby enhancing the creativity and versatility of the attacking sector.

Rúben Amorim himself, in statements made to the press during his first months in Manchester, revealed his admiration for the English midfielder: “Mason Mount. I have to confess that I love that kid. Just look into his eyes to see that he wants this more than anyone, and that is the most important thing for me,” said the Portuguese coach, highlighting the player’s competitive profile. However, the relationship between them ultimately did not yield the desired results in England, with Mount struggling with physical issues and difficulties adapting to Amorim’s tactical demands. Nevertheless, the Portuguese coach believes that, in Milan, he will finally be able to bring out the best in the English international.

Mount’s potential departure can also be seen as a favor to Manchester United, which is looking to ease its wage bill and sees this as an opportunity for significant financial gain. Furthermore, Mount is one of the highest-paid players in the squad, and his departure would free up space for new signings at a time when the Red Devils aim to build a more robust and balanced midfield, focusing on players with greater defensive and physical capacity to partner with Kobbie Mainoo.

The future of Mount could be defined in the coming weeks, with rapid developments expected if AC Milan moves forward definitively with the signing. For Amorim, the arrival of the Englishman represents a crucial piece in his vision of a renewed and ambitious Milan, capable of competing for the Italian title and reestablishing itself in the Champions League. For Mount, it is the necessary fresh start to relaunch a career that seemed to stagnate at Old Trafford – and for Manchester United, a strategic opportunity to renew their squad while making a significant profit in an increasingly competitive transfer window.
