Leeds United secures Noah Okafor in €21m deal with AC Milan

Leeds United and AC Milan have reportedly reached a full agreement for the permanent transfer of Switzerland international Noah Okafor. The forward is set to join the newly-promoted Premier League side in a deal valued at €21 million, including bonuses, according to reports from multiple Italian outlets, including Gianluca Di Marzio and Sky Sport Italia.

Reports on Monday had indicated that Leeds had already secured personal terms with Okafor, but a full agreement with Milan was the final hurdle. The completion of this deal represents a minor profit for the Rossoneri, who originally signed Okafor from RB Salzburg two summers ago for a fee of €15 million including bonuses.

Since his arrival at the San Siro, the 25-year-old has struggled to secure a consistent starting spot in the Milan lineup. In his first season, he made 28 Serie A appearances, with 22 of those coming off the bench. He scored six goals and provided two assists in the process.

The 2024-25 season saw Okafor loaned out to eventual Serie A champions Napoli for the second half of the campaign, as he continued to struggle for opportunities back in Milan.

With the agreement now in place, Leeds and Milan are reportedly in the final stages of exchanging documents to finalize Okafor's transfer.
