Napoli have officially announced the acquisition of Noah Okafor from AC Milan. The talented Swiss forward joins the Partenopei on a loan deal with an option to buy, bolstering their attacking options for the remainder of the 2024/25 season.
The club statement reads: “SSC Napoli communicates that it has acquired the sporting services of Noah Okafor from AC Milan on a paid loan with an option to buy.”
This move comes after weeks of speculation surrounding Okafor’s future, with the 24-year-old having struggled to secure regular playing time under Sergio Conceicao at Milan. The transfer to Napoli offers Okafor a fresh opportunity to showcase his skills in Serie A and potentially earn a permanent move to the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
While the official statement does not disclose the financial details, reports suggest that Napoli will pay a loan fee of €1.5 million, with an option to make the transfer permanent for €23.5 million at the end of the season.
Okafor’s arrival at Napoli is seen as a strategic move to reinforce their attacking lineup, especially following the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain earlier in the transfer window. The Swiss international’s versatility and potential make him an exciting addition to Antonio Conte’s squad as they continue to compete on multiple fronts.
