This morning’s edition of Corriere della Sera has some interesting transfer updates, including one on the potential sale of Noah Okafor.
According to today’s edition of the paper (via Reddit), some news has arrived in view of the January transfer window. First of all, denials have come from Milan regarding reported interested in Monza’s Bondo and Hellas Verona’s Reda Belahyane.
The stance of the directors is clear: they are waiting for Ismael Bennacer to return to the squad before making further considerations about midfield needs, and the latest suggests that the Algerian could even be back playing before the end of 2024.
Technical director Geoffrey Moncada will not turn down offers for Luka Jović, who is already excluded from the Champions League squad list and is currently out of action after having a surgery to hopefully correct persistent lower back pain.
The surprise is that the management would also listen to offers for Noah Okafor. The Swiss forward hasn’t really found a place in the squad because he has – in the eyes of the paper – ‘ultimately proven to be ineffective both as Leão’s backup and as an alternative to Morata’.
Milan paid less than €15m to sign him from Red Bull Salzburg so they could potentially be eyeing a capital gain, though there would be question marks about who could step up to replace him.
In my view the best person that should be sold in the attack is Chukwueze, he is just not Milan quality, he lacks the physical side that both have, the technical quality they have, when you look at the 3 holistically, both Jovic and Okafor performed better than him last season , and if you also look at them all, both of them can still improve more than him, they understand the game better, are more tactically , technically and physically better than him, he is a one trick pony.
Besides we cannot count on Morata completely, he has failed to lighten up the team, partially because of injury, inconsistency and a lack of creativity in the midfield, if any position needs to be fixed , it’s the defence and midfield….
They all should be sold. None of them are starters and they are not good enough to challenge Leao, Pulisic and Morata for a starting spot. Useless players. We need champions not mediocre players like Okafor, Jovic and Chukwueze.
I would have taken Noah Lang over Okafor, Berardi over Chukwueze and Moise Kean over Jovic. But this management is a bunch of bozos.
Is Noah Lang a “champion”? Lol. Also, “champions” don’t like sitting on benches.
After Rebic Origi we got Okafor Jovic.
Origi is still ac milan alive player.
Sell them all but pulisic. Then get proper players in.
Selling Okafor would be a mistake, he is good and young and an excellent back up. We are not going to have some superstar on the bench and I think he has lacked the consistent minutes to show his best, yet often does well when called upon
