CM: Okafor’s entourage expected to meet Milan – RB Leipzig pushing to close deal | OneFootball

There are growing reports that Noah Okafor is heading towards leaving AC Milan as talks with RB Leipzig have apparently intensified.

Calciomercato.com report that Okafor’s future ‘yet to be written’ because the Swiss winger could leave Milan in the next few days. Leipzig have intensified contacts with the Rossoneri directors, because they are ready to bring the former Salzburg man back into the Red Bull galaxy.

On Wednesday 8 April (today) part of Okafor’s entourage will be in Milan. Most likely, among the many meetings scheduled, they will also meet with the Milan management to discuss the possible move to the Bundesliga.

The player, who arrived from Salzburg two summers ago for €15.5m, is not considered unsellable by the Rossoneri directors at present, even if the deal must be right. Leipzig want a loan with an option to buy, the source adds.

The discussions expected in the next few hours will discuss the clauses for it to become a permanent purchase and the figures of the operation. The relations between the clubs are good and there are positive feelings that a deal can be agreed.

In the meantime, it seems that Milan are working in parallel on a potential replacement. Marcus Rashford’s agent met with the club yesterday, while there is also talk of options like Sporting CP’s Francisco Trincao.
