BREAKING: AC Milan Reject Bologna Offer for Top Talent Noah Okafor
In a move that underscores AC Milan’s firm stance on retaining key players, the Rossoneri have officially rejected an offer from Serie A rivals Bologna for Swiss international forward Noah Okafor.
According to multiple sources close to the negotiation, Bologna made a formal inquiry and bid for the 24-year-old attacker, who has reportedly impressed Milan’s coaching staff during preseason preparations. The offer was turned down swiftly, signaling Milan’s intent to keep Okafor as part of their squad going into the 2025/26 campaign.
Okafor, who joined Milan from Red Bull Salzburg in the summer of 2023, had an up-and-down debut season, but his versatility, pace, and technical ability have made him a valuable asset under new manager Paulo Fonseca. With Olivier Giroud now departed and the attack reshaping, Okafor is seen as a key piece in the club’s forward rotation.
Sources say Bologna was hoping to bring in the Swiss attacker to bolster their attacking options ahead of their UEFA Europa League campaign. However, Milan reportedly values Okafor too highly to let him leave, especially with few proven alternatives currently available on the market.
This rejected bid from Bologna is just one of several transfer stories surrounding AC Milan this summer, as the club looks to balance squad depth with financial stability. For now, it seems clear: Noah Okafor is staying put.
Stay tuned for further developments as the summer transfer window unfolds.
