Overview

• Leeds United have emerged as suitors for the 25-year-old forward ahead of the 2025-26 Premier League season, according to The Athletic.
• Okafor netted back-to-back braces in pre-season friendlies against Liverpool and Perth Glory under new coach Massimiliano Allegri, boosting his standing.
• AC Milan declined an earlier approach from Bologna that included a loan with a €15m-€16m purchase option.
• The Swiss international spent the 2024-25 season on loan at Napoli, where he struggled for playing time under Antonio Conte.
