Okafor's move to RB Leipzig was in its final steps, with all parties agreeing on a loan deal with an option to buy. However, as we have already relayed from Sky Germany earlier today, the deal has collapsed.
Why did RB Leipzig decided against signing Noah Okafor?
Accordingt to kicker.de information, RB Leipzig decided against signing the forward after the medical check. The 24-year-old had suffered a calf muscle tear in mid-December, an injury that has since healed.
He had already returned to team training in Milan. However, Leipzig’s management does not believe that the Swiss international with 24 caps is currently in a condition to help the team. The Bundesliga club is actively looking for immediate reinforcements.
This search will now continue elsewhere. RB feels compelled to take action in attack as they have limited options there.
