Noah Okafor’s anticipated loan move from AC Milan to RB Leipzig has been called off. According to reports from Sky Sport in Germany and Italy, the Swiss forward traveled to Leipzig for medical tests, which were required to finalize the deal. The agreement included a €1 million loan fee with a purchase option ranging between €25 million and €28 million.

However, the medical examinations revealed that Okafor would not be fit for immediate action, prompting Leipzig to abandon the transfer. The 24-year-old has been sidelined for Milan’s last four matches due to a calf muscle tear.

This season, Okafor has made 16 appearances for Milan, contributing 1 goal and 2 assists. It remains uncertain if his continued presence at San Siro will influence the club’s reported interest in Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford, who operates in the same position.
