In pre-season, Okafor has been one of the more surprising names to reignite the spark at Milan. The Swissman seemed destined to leave, but two goals against Liverpool got people questioning if this is really where his future should be heading.
Reports have since stated that the brace will not impact his situation, with the plans remaining to sell him. However, this is exactly where the issue may lie. With a sale only wanted, issues could arrive in the mercato, or better yet, not arrive.
The stance of the Rossoneri has been made clear in recent weeks; some players should leave this summer. However, it must be done on the correct terms. With Okafor, the situation is a sale or nothing, according to Matteo Moretto, via @Garante_Il on X.
“Will Okafor be Ndoye’s replacement at Bologna? I reiterate what I reported: Milan is continuing to seek a permanent transfer for Okafor. At this moment, Bologna is only offering a loan. As of today, for Milan, it’s either a permanent transfer or nothing.”
