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.
