A left back, two midfielders, a forward, and a central striker. These are the summer priorities for the AC Milan club directors. They are already planning to strengthen the squad for the next season. Important days lie ahead regarding Daichi Kamada, who does not want to renew his expiring contract with Eintracht Frankfurt, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who may be leaving Chelsea in the summer in search of a new opportunity. However, they are not the only targets that Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara are working on.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, new contacts are expected with the entourage of Noah Okafor, who has chosen to leave Salzburg after rejecting a contract extension. His current deal runs until June 30, 2024.
The Swiss international has a salary that fits within the economic parameters of AC Milan. He also has a valuation close to 35 million euros. However, his underwhelming second half of the season, in contrast to a brilliant start to the 2022-23 season, risks changing the situation for the Red Bull club.
In 2022, the former Basel player did not score any goals in the league, and his season ended in mid-April due to a fractured metatarsal in his right foot suffered in the match against LASK Linz. Okafor, who will miss Switzerland's Euro 2024 qualifying matches scheduled for June 16 and 19 against Andorra and Romania, respectively, is working to recover from the injury and awaits a call from his agents. In addition to AC Milan, which appreciates his ability to play on the wing and as a number 9, he is also liked by Napoli, Aston Villa, and Liverpool.
