Milan thins out workforce: first transfer ready, will fly to Bundesliga
With the arrival of Sergio Conceição on the Milan bench, the Rossoneri club seems ready to start a new cycle. After Paulo Fonseca’s brief interregnum, which did not fully meet expectations, the former Porto coach is called to a delicate task: to give the team a new identity, make it play in a more balanced way and, above all, prepare it for new goals.

In this context, it is not surprising that the market, and possible disposals, are at the center of management and coach’s thoughts. The revolution could start precisely with a player who, at the beginning of the season, seemed destined to stay: Noah Okafor.

After a season of ups and downs, Noah Okafor seems to have ended his cycle at AC Milan. Despite his qualities – a fast, dynamic striker who can move intelligently without the ball – the player has not been able to establish himself as a permanent starter, also due to strong competition in attack.

Leipzig, always on the lookout for talent and young promise, has its eye on him. The Bundesliga seems to be the ideal stage for the Swiss striker, who could find more space and more continuity in a league that rewards speed and dynamism. The negotiation, although not made official, is already at an advanced stage: the German club has reportedly already initiated contacts with Milan, proposing a transfer that could prove advantageous for both parties.
Milan, in fact, is looking for more fluidity in attack, but also to lighten the squad, which is considered too large in some departments. Okafor, despite having significant potential, has failed to carve out a starring role for himself and, with the arrival of Conceição, could be sacrificed in favor of a striker with characteristics better suited to the new project.
The sale of Okafor thus seems not only a bargain on the technical level, but also a strategic choice for Milan, which aims to reduce costs and strengthen the team in other departments. The Rossoneri, however, will have to sell him for no less than 11 million euros considering how the player was bought for about 15.5 million and as of June 30 weighed 12.4 on the balance sheet.
Okafor, addio Milan: ci saranno altre cessioni?
The departure of Noah Okafor could be just the beginning of a series of market movements that will follow at AC Milan. The Rossoneri club is undergoing a phase of transition, not only technical but also corporate, with an increasing focus on the management of economic resources.
Although Okafor was not an indispensable player, his departure would open up new opportunities for the club. Conceição needs elements that can best integrate into his system of play, and it is not certain that more incoming shots will not come.
For Okafor, the Bundesliga could represent a real renaissance. Leipzig is a club that has been betting on young talent for years and could be the ideal place to reveal his full potential. With his fast-paced style of play, marked by quick transition, he could find in the German league the right environment to express himself at his best.
In Milan, however, the question on everyone’s mind is whether this transfer will be just the first in a series of larger movements. With the team in the process of renewal, Milan’s future could hold more surprises. And if indeed Conceição is ready to launch a new era, the choices in the market will be crucial. The sale of Okafor could be seen as a small, but significant, part of a larger strategy.
