According to Moretto, RB Leipzig, Everton and Fulham are also monitoring the Arsenal youngster ahead of the final weeks of the summer transfer window.
The report does not suggest that Arsenal are actively looking to sell Nwaneri, but it highlights just how highly the England youth international is regarded across Europe after another impressive breakthrough season.

Milan’s interest is particularly noteworthy.
The Italian giants have built a reputation for identifying and developing elite young talent, and their decision to explore a move underlines the belief that Nwaneri has the potential to become one of Europe’s top attacking midfielders.
For Arsenal, however, the priority remains ensuring the 19-year-old continues his development in north London.
Mikel Arteta has consistently praised Nwaneri’s maturity and technical quality, while the club see him as an important part of Arsenal’s long-term future.

Despite competition for places in Arsenal’s attacking midfield, Nwaneri has already demonstrated he is capable of performing at the highest level, with his versatility allowing him to operate centrally or from the right.
Interest from Leipzig also comes as little surprise.
The Bundesliga side have established themselves as one of Europe’s best clubs for developing young players before helping them take the next step in their careers.
Meanwhile, Everton and Fulham could potentially offer more immediate Premier League opportunities if Arsenal were ever to consider a temporary or permanent deal.
At this stage, though, there is no indication that Arsenal are prepared to part ways with one of the brightest academy graduates to emerge from Hale End in recent years.
Instead, Moretto’s update serves as another reminder of Nwaneri’s rapidly growing reputation.
With clubs from England, Germany and now Italy all tracking his situation, Arsenal know they possess one of the continent’s most sought-after young talents.
Whether any of that interest develops into formal offers remains to be seen, but AC Milan’s emergence ensures the competition for Ethan Nwaneri is only intensifying as the transfer window approaches its conclusion.
