Done deal: Napoli and Milan have total agreement for Okafor | OneFootball

Napoli now have a total agreement in place with Milan to sign Noah Okafor on loan with an option to buy according to the latest updates in Italy.

Napoli have been looking to add another attacker to their ranks in January following the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to PSG for a €70m fee earlier in the window.

While there had been talks for the likes of Alejandro Garnacho, Karim Adeyemi and Allan Saint-Maximin, the Partenopei have now landed on Okafor on loan with an option to buy.

According to reports from Gianluca Di Marzio and Sky Sport Italia, Napoli will pay a fee of €1.5m to sign Okafor on loan for the remainder of the season and will have an option to make the move permanent for a further €23.5m for a total package of €25m.

The Switzerland international joined the Rossoneri from RB Salzburg for a fee in the region of €15m during the summer of 2023.

He had also been close to moving to Bundesliga side RB Leipzig earlier in the January transfer window. He even flew over to Germany for a medical, but returned to Milano the following day after it became clear he would not be fit enough to play immediately.

He has, however, been back in training with the Rossoneri since then, and came off the bench for a cameo appearance in the 2-1 loss against Dinamo Zagreb in the final league phase fixture in the Champions League at the end of January.
