After previous sources stated the same, The Athletic confirm that Musah is close to joining Milan from Valencia for €20m after the 20-year-old had made it clear that he only wanted the Rossoneri.
Premier League clubs – including West Ham United and Fulham – came forward to express an interest in Musah but he is instead determined to partner up with his USMNT team-mate Christian Pulisic after he joined from Chelsea earlier this month.
The 20-year-old has an Italian passport meaning he would not take the last remaining non-EU registration slot for Milan this season. He made over 30 appearances for Valencia last season in what was another difficult LaLiga campaign for them.
He should soon become the eighth signing of the summer after Marco Sportiello, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Samuel Chukwueze, Tijiani Reijnders, Noah Okafor and Pulisic this summer.
