Leeds Agree Personal Terms With Okafor, Await Milan’s Nod

Leeds United have reportedly struck an agreement with AC Milan striker Noah Okafor over a potential move, though the Italian giants are yet to give final approval.

Italian journalist Luca Bianchin of La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the English club are pushing for a permanent deal but must wait for Milan’s clearance before completing the transfer.

Okafor, who returned to San Siro this summer after a title-winning loan spell with Napoli, was part of the squad that lifted the 2024/25 Serie A trophy.

The Swiss international initially joined Milan from RB Salzburg in 2023 for €15.5 million and has since made 43 league appearances for both Milan and Napoli, scoring seven times.

While Bologna also explored a deal for the 25-year-old, their negotiations fell through.

Okafor has been in fine form recently, scoring three goals in pre-season before featuring as a substitute in Milan’s 2-0 Coppa Italia victory over Bari on Sunday.
