According to recent reports, Noah Okafor has successfully completed his medical examination for Leeds United, clearing the path for AC Milan to finalize a €21 million transfer, including performance-based bonuses.
While an official announcement from the Premier League club is anticipated on Thursday morning, industry insiders Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto confirm that all necessary documents have been signed.
Milan`s Relief Over Okafor`s Medical Success
The Swiss international`s medical evaluation was a crucial concern for Milan, given that a previous transfer to RB Leipzig had fallen through in January due to medical issues. Subsequently, Okafor had a brief loan spell with Napoli, making only four appearances totaling 36 minutes of play time.
Milan`s management is undoubtedly relieved to have successfully completed the sale this summer, especially considering the profitable nature of the deal. The Rossoneri originally acquired Okafor from RB Salzburg for €15.5 million in 2023, making the current transfer a financial success.
While other clubs such as Fenerbahce, Flamengo, Bologna, and Lecce had shown interest, Leeds United`s substantial offer proved decisive in securing the player`s services.
This transfer marks a significant move for both Okafor and the clubs involved, with Leeds United bolstering their squad and AC Milan securing a profitable sale.
