Manager Fabio Liverani is thought to be keen on bringing bring the 18-year-old forward to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris to bolster his squad ahead of the new Serie A campaign.
A swap deal involving Genoa's Juraj Kucka had been suggested but Preziosi ruled out that possibility.
And he believes Milan's failure to land key transfer targets during the close-season, including CSKA Moscow's Keisuke Honda and Fiorentina's Adem Ljajic, means that Genoa will be unable to complete a deal for Niang.
"I think I can exclude a swap deal between Juraj Kucka and Niang," he told Sky Sport Italia.
"Milan's failure so far to sign Keisuke Honda and Adem Ljajic has complicated talks with the Rossoneri."
