Moretto: Napoli explore ‘last-minute’ move for Milan winger – player’s will crucial | OneFootball

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.
