After reaching an agreement with RB Salzburg for the transfer of striker Noah Okafor on Friday afternoon, Milan are said to be keen on getting two more deals wrapped up in the near future. 

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rossoneri’s transfer window could hot up rather than slow down after the Okafor deal, with moves for Samuel Chukwueze and Yunas Musah also in the pipeline. 

The Rossoneri reportedly had positive talks about Chukwueze with Villarreal on Thursday and are increasingly confident of getting a deal done in the coming days. 

The 24-year-old Nigeria international is out of contract next summer and the Yellow Submarine are set to cash in on their winger for fear of losing him for free next year. 

As per Gazzetta’s reports as well as numerous in Spain, Chukwueze could move to San Siro for a fee of €25m and will take up Milan’s last currently available slot for non-EU players. 

Milan are also still pushing to secure a move for Valencia and United States midfielder Yunus Musah. 

Despite bringing in Ruben Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea and Tijjani Reijnders from PSV this window, the Rossoneri are still relatively light in the midfield department following the sale of Sandro Tonali to Newcastle and the long-term injury to Ismael Bennacer. 

La Gazzetta claims that Milan already have an agreement in principle with Musah himself over a deal worth €2m per season, but are still working to convince Valencia to let him go. It is reported that a fee of around €25m will be required.
