CM: Okafor made aware of Milan’s interest as Maldini is convinced – the price tag

By Isak Möller -

Noah Okafor is currently at the top of AC Milan’s wish list for reinforcing the attack next summer. Paolo Maldini really likes the player and there could soon be some movement on this front, a report claims. 

Milan are planning for the future and since Olivier Giroud, as well as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, aren’t getting any younger, a signing will eventually be needed. The plan seems to be to make the investment in the summer and there is a primary target.

According to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, Maldini is increasingly convinced that Okafor is the right player for Milan after watching him play against Milan twice this season. A first meeting could thus take place at the end of the World Cup.

Okafor has been made aware of Milan’s interest, per the report, and he has asked his agent to investigate the matter. He’s ready to make the big leap and RB Salzburg have slapped a €35m price tag on him, most likely will some room for negotiation.

  1. Everyday it’s more obvious that Leao will leave and growth Milan bank account with it, leaving money to new comers as the Swiss

      1. Maybe just common sense, knowing how today’s football work, seeing the same patterns of behavior as with Donarruma, Kessie, etc.. A player who truly wants to renew DOES IT EITHER RIGHT AWAY OR AOO AFTER. See what Theo did, and also see examples from other clubs.
        If he wanted to renew, he would have done it 10 times by now, but he’s waiting for the best possible moment, that’ll allow him to get the best wages, more millions for his dad and 2 other agents he has.
        It’s as simple as that.
        I hope something happens and he proves me wrong, but I don’t think so.

        1. In other words: It’s difficult to, get hold of your star players… We can’t expect that, everyone will be happy to renew at €3M per year!

          1. Thats just dumb, Kessie is earning at Barcelona the same he was proposed at Milan, donnaruma didn’t get that big of a increase from PSG. Some players want to leave, some want to stay, leao will probably get bigger offers after the World Cup but before he probably wouldn’t a bigger offer than the 7M offered by Milan.

  2. I always thought Leao will want to leave so I am ok with it… Even if it is January.
    I do think that at this time of his career might not be the best move. Milan have really allowed him to develop something a club paying €100 mil will want immediate payback.

  3. He should go if wants to, he is very lucky to play in Milan with just potential.
    He can’t get dt in most of the big teams.
