Just after winning the Supercoppa Italiana in Riyadh, it seems that the winter transfer market for Milan has exploded.
At the beginning of the year, the club's efforts were entirely focused on securing the first trophy of the season and the settling-in of new coach Sergio Conceicao.
Now that all of this has passed and gone well, the question is: how can this team be improved to ensure a top-four finish by the end of the season?
Who leaves Milan and who joins?
The first move for Milan in this winter transfer window looks set to be outgoing. We are talking about Noah Okafor. He should be in Leipzig for his medical tests today.
According to reports, the two clubs have reached an agreement for a loan with an option to buy: the purchase option at the end of the season is set at 25 million euros. This move could free up space in the squad for what is presented as Milan's number one target this market: Marcus Rashford.
After a meeting with Marcus' brother-agent, it was confirmed that the success of the operation depends on the salary, as reported by Tuttosport.
Currently, the Englishman earns 14 million euros net: for a six-month loan with an option to buy, only half of the salary would need to be paid, with the hope that Manchester United will contribute.
The key issue is understanding the potential salary in the event of a permanent transfer. Conceicao has given the green light to the operation.
