Napoli are the latest team to come forward and explore a late deal for AC Milan winger Noah Okafor, according to a report from Matteo Moretto.
Okafor has already been close to departing during the current window, with a move to RB Leipzig falling apart right at the end. He even flew to Germany to undergo a medical with the Bundesliga side but had to fly back less than 24 hours.

Leipzig seemed to leak that it was due to an unsatisfactory medical – which Milan took a shot at – but as we revealed there was a late attempt to change economic aspects of the operation. However, it did show that Milan do not deem him as immovable.
According to what is being reported by Matteo Moretto of Relevo, Napoli are ‘exploring Noah Okafor as a last-minute option’. The player’s will must be taken into consideration, as he has refused several other opportunities in recent days.
Whether Milan also have the appetite to send a player then invested around €14m on to sign in the 2023 summer window to a domestic rival also remains to be seen. Nonetheless, his exit could in theory free a spot for the arrival of Joao Felix from Chelsea.
It’s cute you think we’re a rival to Napoli this season.
Yes, rivalries are known to form and disappear over a present season results…
Loan out him bring Felix on loan !!!!
It’s always the appeal to novelty. “If it’s new, it has to be better” but the guy doesn’t seem to be exploding at Chelsea. I wonder why Okafor isn’t being tried as a striker. Some of these guys are decent in their former club but for some reason they come here and become a pile of dung. What exactly is wrong? Anyway, let’s bring in Felix if the coach feels like he can help our season but then again I wonder why Chelsea would be open to loaning out a £50m+ player.
His value is inflated by the swap with Gallagher with Atletico, they didn’t really want him in the first place but took him in part exchange effectively
Felix can have Jovics Serie A spot and RLCs (who anyway cant play two games in a row without getting injured) UCL spot
What? RLC still at Milan? I haven’t seen him since last year when we played against PSG.
