AC Milan are preparing for the possibility that they will be forced to sell Rafael Leao if he does not extend his contract, and they have a potential replacement in mind.
According to a report from Tuttosport (via MilanNews), Leao’s renewal is not without obstacles and complications which means that Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara – in conjunction with the scouting team and analysts – are working to not be caught unprepared in the case he must be sold and replaced.

The paper claims that the Rossoneri have in fact targeted Noah Okafor who scored against Stefano Pioli’s side in the first Champions League group stage game of the current season.
However, it won’t be easy to sign the Swiss international both because he already has a rather high asking price of €35-40m and there is some strong competition from Premier League and German Bundesliga clubs plus city rivals Inter.
If Milan truly wants to sign a decent replacement for Rafa, they ought to take all that money they’ll make from. him (potentially over 100) and then sign Mudrik kid from Shaktar. They want 100 mil for. him, and there you go. Milan could use all their relations they have with Sheva, who could surely help (although he’s Dynamo Kuev legend), Ću as Ukrainan, he could surely have some influence on that kid. At least they can try to do it.
This way, they won’t get a decent replacement for Rafa.
And u. the future, we ought to be getting players who aren’t in love only with money and have zero respect for the club.
We gave Rafa a chance he wouldn’t have gotten in any other big club, and this is how he repays us. F***ng kids of today man… Pure greed and zero respect and genuine love for the game.
