Okafor: Ongoing Leeds talks as Milan set asking price | OneFootball

Talks between Leeds United and Milan over Noah Okafor are ongoing, with the Rossoneri open to selling the striker for over €20m.

Leeds United are genuinely interested in Milan striker Okafor after talks with Roma for Artem Dovbyk collapsed.

Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Luca Bianchin first broke the news that negotiations between Milan and Leeds had begun on Sunday.

Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that Milan’s asking price exceeds €20m and that Okafor is considering joining the newly promoted Premier League side after snubbing offers from other clubs.

Leeds have room to be optimistic about the deal as talks with Milan continue.

Okafor already made 2025-26 Milan debut

Okafor has just returned from a six-month loan spell at Napoli, where he received little playing time, but won the Scudetto under Antonio Conte.

His contract at San Siro runs out in June 2028.

The 25-year-old made his 2025-26 debut with Milan on Sunday, making a substitute appearance in the second half of a 2-0 win over Bari in Coppa Italia.
