AC Milan have reportedly received an offer from RB Leipzig for Noah Okafor, but the two clubs have yet to reach an agreement on terms of the deal.
The 24-year-old joined us from RB Salzburg in July 2023, and he has since gone on to score seven goals and provide five assists in 52 appearances for the club.

In turn, it could be argued that the Swiss international is very much a dispensable piece in our current squad, as Sergio Conceicao looks to stamp his mark on the group and oversee a potentially busy January transfer window.
According to Matteo Moretto, Leipzig have submitted an offer to Milan for Okafor which is an initial loan, with an option to buy included in the deal worth between €10m and €12m.
However, it’s added that those terms are seemingly not satisfactory for the Rossoneri, as the two clubs haven’t been able to agree a deal as of yet, and so it remains to be seen if a compromise is reached if negotiations continue in the coming days.
Should Okafor move on this month, then it’s likely that Milan will move to bring in a reinforcement to replace him, one that is perhaps better suited to Conceicao’s system and style of play, and so it’s an intriguing situation as we await movement in the transfer market.
It’s felt though that we can certainly improve in that area of the squad given the limited impact made by some, as we look to add more firepower and take the entire burden off the likes of Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic by adding a new dynamic to our attack.
That said, we do still have plenty of options already, and so Okafor may not be the only one to move on this month to make room and help balance the books for any potential new Milan signings.
