Milan Receive Offer for Fringe Winger, Open to Sale

RB Leipzig are going after Noah Okafor, and Milan are open to listening to proposals for the Swiss attacker. He has struggled to stay healthy and has never been a full-time starter since they acquired him. He’s worth €11M on their balance sheets, La Gazzetta dello Sport relays.

If the deal came together, the forward would return under the Red Bull umbrella after his time in Salzburg. He has recorded 54 appearances with the Rossoneri, mostly operating as a super-sub, registering 7 goals and 5 assists.

Milan were already mulling an addition to the role but need to part ways with one man first. They shortlisted Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche and Stuttgart’s Jamie Leweling before the coaching change. Sergio Conceiçao’s agent Jorge Mendes represents Sporting CP’s Francisco Trincao and Porto’s Pepe. They are in the running for Marcus Rashford, but Manchester United need to cover a large portion of his wages for the deal to be viable.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic hinted at some signings from Riyadh.

“Something will happen on the transfer market.”

Fikayo Tomori is likely to stay after his return to the starting XI. After the first two matches under the new boss, a holding midfielder might become the biggest priority.

Our Take on Milan and Okafor

He has had his moments, but he’s never found enough continuity, so he’s expendable if they need room. They might not necessarily substitute for him with a winger as Alex Jimenez has been good enough there, and they have two top-end ones that will play as many minutes as possible when healthy.
