Mason Mount has been proposed to AC Milan, and the two clubs have begun talking. The move would reunite Mount with Ruben Amorim, the coach who managed him at Manchester United before taking the AC Milan job in June 2026.
It would also represent one of the more dramatic value collapses in recent Premier League transfer history. Mount arrived at Old Trafford from Chelsea in 2023 for £55 million. His current market value sits around €25 million, a figure that could drop further depending on how negotiations play out.
A transfer born from familiarity
The Amorim connection is the thread that ties this whole deal together. The Portuguese manager signed a contract with AC Milan through June 2028 after departing Manchester United earlier this summer. Now he appears to be shopping from his former squad.
Mount’s time at Manchester United has been defined more by what hasn’t happened than what has. Injuries have ravaged his availability since the day he signed. When he has been fit, competition for places in midfield has often kept him on the bench or limited to cameo appearances off it.
