Milan player's transfer deal to Leipzig fails

Press reports revealed the failure of the Swiss Noah Okafor, the Milan striker, to join his German counterpart Leipzig on loan during the current winter transfer market.

According to the "Sky Sports" network, the deal to transfer Noah Okafor, the Milan striker, to Leipzig collapsed after the player underwent a medical examination on Monday, as the German club preferred not to complete the deal after confirming from the medical examination that the player underwent that he was not ready to participate immediately.

Noah Okafor, the Milan striker, arrived in Germany on Monday and underwent a medical examination with Leipzig, in preparation for his inclusion after reaching a final agreement with Milan, and the two parties agreed that Okafor would move to Leipzig on loan for 6 months with an option to buy, in the event that he passed the medical examination, which did not happen.

Milan signed the 24-year-old player in the summer of 2023 for 15 million euros from Red Bull Salzburg of Austria, and participated in 16 matches with Milan during the current season, scoring a goal and making two goals.
