Bologna have made an offer to try and sign Noah Okafor from AC Milan, but it is not enough to get the green light.
Four goals in two games to make things clear: Okafor has returned to Milan from his spell at Napoli with the determination of someone who wants to leave a tangible mark. The Swiss forward has placed himself completely at Massimiliano Allegri’s disposal, without thinking too much about the future.

According to Calciomercato.com, Milan are of the mind that Okafor is not unsellable, but they still consider him a player with a clear value and not available for a bargain price in any way. Simply put: Okafor won’t move for less than €15-20m.
Bologna rebuffed
Bologna’s shortlist for Dan Ndoye’s replacement has Okafor on it at the top. Their director Giovanni Sartori is keen to swap Swiss players, and his admiration for the Milan winger is unwavering.
It led to an initial offer yesterday: a loan with an option to buy for a total package of €15-16m. The Emilian club are keen to make a major, international signing.
Milan’s response to Bologna was immediate: Tare will not consider offers for Okafor that involve a loan deal with no obligation to buy.The Diavolo would only sacrifice the ex-Salzburg star for a permanent offer of at least €18-20m.
And after his initial convincing performances this pre-season, it’s not out of the question that Noah could remain with the Rossoneri to provide Allegri with an additional weapon in an attack.
no loan? Great
Only offers above 18 millions? Probably not great…
Bologna can go suck a lemon… 41M for Ndoye and 31M for Bukuema… Okafor is also great as a sub, either pay up or go back to sucking the previously mentioned citrus.
I am with you on this, they spent 9 Million on Pobega and that is an almost obligation now to pay after this year. But the club reduced the buy option for Bologna who had a 12 Million buy option. Enough giving discounts to Serie A clubs that have the money.
Atalanta did the same nonsense with CDK. I think 18-20 Million is fair and achievable for bologna.
I won’t blame Bologna. You have to take to Milan management to wake and follow the tread and stop acting desperate in need of money to fun their transfer by selling their player for cheap
LOL, but Brugge is crazy for holding on to 40M for a player not worth more than 30M? 🤣
Double-standards is a thing amongst some fans.
Okafor is half the price of Ndoye… Jashari isn’t same as Tiji… that’s the difference
if you are being dense on purpose, not my problem
This Bologna is blackmailing us with ” loan with an option” options twice already with Salad and Pobega.
Don’t trust them at all.
They won’t buy him for 18 million no matter what and comes back with an offer around 9 million next year.
There is no need to do any business with them unless outright sell
25M & 15% on future sale.
Offers from bologna scammers should be blocked for 2 years.
Bologna coming with their scams again, either buy him or F-Off
If Okafor is to be Brugge player. They will demand 25-30m for him to leave.
Milan management are too soft. Selling Okafor for 18-20m and go in search for a replacement of lower quality to Okafor but with higher price.
Just put 30m price tag on home and let them start negotiating then stand on 25m.
Clubs like Napoli Lazio Atlanta and Benfica won’t sell below 25m
They are asking for 25m, but for the wrong player : Musah 😂 ( 30m even). Its too easy to make fun of them,its like they’re asking for it. That is why other clubs are picking, almost bully them. Their IQ of doing bussines is unimaginable.
Your comments makes it look as if he was an impactful player last season, 15 to 20 million is enough considering his consistency or lack thereof.
He has the quality and everyone knows that. If he did not impacting last season doesn’t mean he lacks quality.
It took Pirlo 3 season in Milan to define himself.
It took Pirlo 3 seasons in Milan to define himself?
His first season at Milan was 2001/02. He was mostly backing up Rui Costa because Terim and Ancelotti considered him an attacking midfielder.
His second season at Milan was 2002/03. He was a starter for a team that won the Champions League.
His third season at Milan was 2003/04. He was one of the best players on a team that won the scudetto and a team that was kicking ass and taking names in UCL until the La Coruna nightmare.
It took Pirlo one season to define himself at Milan, because he was a young player playing behind one of the best players in the world at the time.
You really make comparison to what they consider a key player and a deadwood?
They also trade deadwood for peanut
Can we loan Milan to new owners? Only Milan loan players 😂😂 And please no Vlahovic here,he is like Jovic like nights,woman etc his gaming is over. Nobody want him please dont bring him here
If Allegri likes him take him off the market
I would say $25M + 15% resale. No loan or go suck a duck!
We need squad depth.
We can’t just ship off a guy who is already buying into the system and can make a decent back up.
If they bring a good amount that we can use to quickly replace him, then fine. Otherwise selling him off and having a hole in that position is not wise.
Leao and Puli won’t be able to play all the games in the season.
Delusions of grandeur
15m + 20% sell on clause that’s enough. He’s Milan bench warmer. Promote comotto to the first team for okafor replacement, talented player who above his age. so no need to buy another unknown foreign soldiers again.
The response its oke deal 😀🤝
Suddenly everyone wants Okafor to stay? After two friendlies? You guys are so bipolar its embarrasing
Hahhaa True 🤣
I think it’s time to beginning to deal with Bologna. Every year we want to buy Joshua zizke from them, they held on to 40m. If they want to buy from us, they come like beggars.
100% not for that money… keep him until an offer comes over 25 mill.. he gets now a second chance… hopp schwiiz.. 🙂
Keep Noah he can be very usefull,now he is playing well,please get Nunez…
