After the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who moved to PSG, Napoli are looking for a new winger to make available to Antonio Conte. The hot name at the moment is Allan Saint-Maximin, a Fenerbahçe player on loan from Al-Ahli.
As per Sky (via MilanNews), the negotiations for the French winger are ongoing, but the Azzurri do not want to be caught unprepared in case the deal does not come to fruition.
For this reason they have ‘secured’ Noah Okafor, a Swiss forward who can leave Milan before the window closes at midnight CET tonight. The former Red Bull Salzburg man has already been close to leaving, with a move to RB Leipzig collapsing right at the last night.
So far this season, Okafor has been in the starting line-up for 23% of Milan’s games in Serie A and has only played 21% of the available minutes. He has not scored since August either, which was his 95th-minute equaliser against Torino in the 2-2 draw in the first round of the Serie A season.
