Noah Okafor’s time at AC Milan may be coming to an end as the club engages in negotiations with RB Leipzig regarding a potential transfer. The Swiss forward, who has struggled to make a significant impact this season, scoring only one goal in 550 minutes across 16 appearances, is viewed as a surplus by the Rossoneri’s management.
Following the arrival of new coach Rui Costa, Okafor’s prospects at Milan have not improved. He was not a preferred choice for the previous manager and is now considered expendable by the current coaching staff. Relovo report how, In light of this, Milan have been open to offers for Okafor, aiming to generate funds for new signings that align more closely with the team’s strategic direction.
Details regarding the financial aspects of the potential transfer remain undisclosed. However, Milan’s hierarchy, including sporting director Geoffrey Moncada and club legends like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, is reportedly looking to secure a permanent deal rather than a loan. The club initially acquired Okafor for approximately €15.5 million in 2023 and is seeking at least €11 million from any sale to avoid incurring a financial loss.
Okafor has a contract with Milan that runs until 2027, earning around €2 million net per season. His departure would free up resources for Milan to invest in players better suited to their tactical needs.
As discussions between Milan and Leipzig progress, there is optimism on both sides about reaching an agreement soon
