After reaching an agreement with AC Milan to sign Emerson Royal, Flamengo also expressed an interest in the Rossoneri winger Noah Okafor. However, per a report, the player isn’t convinced by the move.
Emerson Royal is just one step away from joining the Brazilian side, with medical tests scheduled for today, and Milan are happy with the €9m transfer fee (plus €1m in bonuses) all things considered. During the negotiations, interest for another outcast was also expressed.

According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Flamengo have been in contact with Okafor over a potential move to the club this summer. However, while Emerson Royal was eager to switch Besiktas for the Brazilian side, the winger isn’t too convinced about leaving Europe.
In other words, Milan will most likely have to look elsewhere for a solution this summer. Bologna have also expressed an interest and could perhaps convince the player, even if a salary decrease should be inevitable wherever he goes.
For the time being, Okafor is in Asia with the Milan squad for the pre-season tour. He featured in the game against Arsenal on Wednesday, but he didn’t impress and then he also missed his penalty in the shootout. He didn’t exactly prove the Rossoneri wrong in their assessment.
if this happens instead of buying a new Ac Milan jersey I’m gonna buy a flamengo one… if I’m not mistaken the colors are the same or similar
They are the same, it’s just that Flamengo has horizontal stripes instead of vertical
Maybe Liverpool will be interested in a Swap Deal. Okafor for Federico Chiesa.
Okafor really needs a club where he’s guaranteed a good number of starts, moving to Napoli may have gotten a medal but a complete waste of time professionally for him.
But I respect if he wants to stay in Europe and he’s a surprisingly low earner (1.2M gross per year) with three years left on his deal, so I’d be happy to see him move on a dry loan to see if he can prove himself somewhere.
He always not convinced about the move. where you will go bro ? I think his idol was Origi. Being bench warmer, no problem. Hehehe
He needs minutes, he needs to play. He does not have to be convinced and impressed. He is just too thick to get it. How does he explain being benched and lacking minutes at Milan is a convincing thing? Bro, you are not even playing here and you still feel convinced? W tf bro.
