AC Milan's attacking department is in dire need of a revamp, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud reaching their golden years and no viable alternatives in sight.
Investing in the striker of the future is necessary for the Rossoneri directors Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara.
The player who is on the list of the management is Noah Okafor of RB Salzburg. He is one of the top contenders, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. With Ibrahimovic's playing career perhaps coming to a close soon, Divock Origi's status up in the air, and Rebic's future uncertain, Milan will require a new center forward for the upcoming season.
The budget for next summer will depend on the outcome of the European race: should Milan secure a spot in the quarter-finals and finish within the top four in Serie A, the Rossoneri will have a more substantial budget at their disposal. On Milan's management list, Noah Okafor, the Salzburg striker who caught the Rossoneri's eye during the Champions League group stage, is sitting atop.
Okafor, whose contract with RB Salzburg expires in June 2024, has netted ten goals and three assists so far this season after 26 appearances. The 22-year-old is versatile and right-footed. He stands at 185 centimetres tall.
