CM: January sale a concrete possibility for Okafor after ‘breaking point’ – the situation | OneFootball

It seems that AC Milan are ready to give up on Noah Okafor as they would listen to offers for him next month, a report claims.

Calciomercato.com confirm that lower back pain will force Okafor to miss the Champions League match against Red Star tonight. It is an injury that comes at a bad moment for the Swiss winger, because he needs to find some form and cannot do so on the sidelines.

About four months have passed since Milan 2-2 Torino in the first game of the season, when Okafor scored what is to date his only goal this season. He has been trusted with starts in big games like at Lazio and against Napoli, but has not been able to reciprocate Fonseca’s faith.

Most recently he got the nod from minute one against Slovan Bratislava and he came off after 45 minutes, which ‘seems to have marked a breaking point’. From that moment on, he has completely disappeared from the Portuguese coach’s radar.

Having arrived at Milan in the summer of 2023 from Red Bull Salzburg, Okafor had been making the most of his chances by scoring a number of important goals off the bench. Now, though, he is no longer doing that.

Instead, the 24-year-old can now be considered a player that is ‘absolutely transferable’ in the eyes of the Milan directors even as early as the January window, if an interesting offer were to arrive.
