Mauri, just 19, is rated one of the best young talents in
Italy and has been linked with a number of top clubs throughout Europe.
Jose Mourinho is believed to be among his admirers and
reports suggested that the Premier League
champions could be preparing a move to sign him at the end of the season.
But the Chelsea boss will have to move quickly as Mauri's
agent Dino Zampacorta claims AC Milan are making advanced moves to sign the Parma
midfielder.
Zampacorta, speaking to MilanNews, said: "Milan are
strongly interested in the lad. Not just now, but for months.
"Do they have an advantage? Definitely, it's a matter
of respect for the Rossoneri.
"Jose believes in his qualities and will back himself,
he's ambitious and he wants to make a career for himself, so he'll look at who
gives technical guarantees.
"We've rejected higher salaries, because the lad wants
to play. Milan need several midfielders and he could be one of them, he could
play with those who have more experience.
"However, it's not just Milan who have offered these
assurances, there are at least four clubs, so it depends."
