Besiktas have expressed an interest in signing Noah Okafor from AC Milan, but at present there is no agreement over the formula.
Okafor returned to Milan after an unsuccessful six-month loan spell with Napoli, at least on a personal note. He struggled to get fit and then did not get many minutes, though he was there for the Scudetto celebrations.

It is believed that the Rossoneri management are hoping to find a solution for the Swiss forward given he is not a part of the plans, but rumours have been sparse in recent days.
Besiktas make an attempt
During the YouTube live broadcast this evening on Fabrizio Romano’s channel, Matteo Moretto (via MilanNews) confirmed the news yesterday that emerged regarding interest from Besiktas in Okafor.
The Turkish club tried to sign him on a loan deal but without a loan fee, an offer that Igli Tare promptly sent back to sender. There is interest in the player and there have also been contacts with his entourage, to understand if a better proposal will be presented to Milan in the next few days.
As reported by MilanNews, there are also other European clubs as well as some South American ones courting the player. Recently, the former Salzburg player refused a significant proposal from Flamengo.
no more loans sell directly or use as rotational player he is not that bad of player
If okafor is sold who will be Leao backup.
Have to search market for possible replacement. I don’t think are lot of qualities out there.
Where is Traore and Eletu
With the signing of Ricci, Modric and
Jashari. I think Zeroli should be understudy and grow around them. Instead of loaning him out or buying another midfielder
Eletu is a CDM what are you on?
Okafor played less than 90 minutes during entire half season under Conte… it says enough… I would take most players over him.
Salamaekers, Chukwueze and Pulusic would be the LW backups for the time being, I’d assume.
Pulisic and Sale.
Chukwueze can’t even play as rw which is his natural side.
We should not loan him out, it does not make any sense for us. Either sell him permanently or keep him as a Leao’s backup. When fit he can be usful player coming off the bench. He had decent numbers in his first season, for a backup player.
