Given that the Swiss forward had performed well in preseason there was some speculation that Massimiliano Allegri might look to keep him as a deputy left winger, but it seems the club will not stand in his way.
Okafor to Leeds: Almost done
Fabrizio Romano‘s latest update is as follows: “Leeds United are closing in on Noah Okafor deal, agreement almost done with AC Milan. Final details to sort in next 12/24h with here we go to follow if all goes to plan.”
Gianluca Di Marzio also reports that Okafor will soon become a new Leeds player. Everything is done for the forward’s move to the Premier League and Milan will receive €21m, including bonuses, from his sale.
The player will be in England in the next few hours for a medical and to sign his contract. After the Yorkshire side won their opening game against Everton on Monday night, it is a further boost in their bid for survival.
They will sell him probably and make profit 2 or 3 mill.
😂😂
He is smart go at Premier league at the end.
He is valued at club for around 8,5 million. So every fix price above around 9 is capital gain.
If they sell him in fixed 19, capital gain is 10 million. Profit in balance sheet.
Now, Okafor costs with wage and ammortisation around 5,5 million, so costs side of balance sheet will decrease for those 5 million plus.
Chukwueze has higher wage and doesn’t fit 3-5-2 at all… we sell Okafor instead… Also, Benny and Aldi are still here…
LW-ST profile like him and for those wages is rare… weird move, ngl…
Aside from ST are we gonna sign anyone else for defense and attack? don’t get where we are going with this
Why would they need to wait and sold them first? All of them including him are deadwood and is on the list
Who is going to bw his replacement cause leao doesn’t have a sub now ? And the season begins already , pressure
I think we are looking to 433 with
Leao/chuk – Gimenez / … – Pulisic / salad
Btw can somebody tell me what happened to alex jimenez?
For now Allegri plays with 2 CF.
Those were Pulisic and Leao.
So either that will use 1 CF, like Leao, or 2 with Gimenez and new CF.
Jimenez is back up for Saelemaekers right position for now.
Alex jimenez late 3 times for training, so drop to youth team
There is always Saelemaekers in the club.
But Allegri use now Leao as CF.
Obviously with Leao Gimenez they will bring another CF.
Good deal.
He can’t stay fit for more than a couple games in a row. Get the deal done before he gets injured.
Okey, we buy him for around 15m€ and sell him for 20-21m€, still make some money, but now if it will be like with Those, today must be some news about new striker, maybe one more winger and striker because we have only Leao, Pulisic and Gimenez… It seems like Alegri don’t prefer to play Chuk so hope we sell him until the end of mercato and buy someone . For me Berardi Is best possible choice and one of Hojlund or Vlahovic must come
Berardi – Adli direct swap
Vlahovic at final days; Tare last interview made me a believer again
Magassa (CDM + CB) or even Lucumi
Okafor replacement should be Lokman or Mois Keen, this is a great opportunity for us to raise the squad levels
But there is no news about Berardi, no one talk about him
Berardi swap with Adli??
Only on your dreams bro 😆😆
Adli deal gonna run out next year… everyone knows we don’t want him
Berardi is 30…
what do you value each?!
would’ve prefered CHukweze out instead of Okafor, but that’s life. Offload Musa and Chukweze, and go for a solid Winger.
