Milan have reportedly targeted RB Salzburg striker Noah Okafor as a long-term replacement for Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud.
According to Calciomercato.com, the 22-year-old has attracted the interest of the Serie A giants, not only thanks to his goals against the Rossoneri and Chelsea in the Champions League.
The Swiss international has scored seven goals in 12 appearances with RB Salzburg this term and has the physical and technical features that seem to fit Stefano Pioli’s style.
Okafor’s contract runs out in 2024 and according to Calciomercato, the Austrian giants currently value their star at €35m.
The promising striker could become Milan’s long-term replacement for Ibra and Giroud.
Both strikers see their contracts expire at the end of the season. The France international has featured in every Milan game so far as Ante Rebic and Divock Origi have been struggling with injuries, while the Swede will return to action in January following knee surgery in the summer.
According to the report, Giroud will likely sign a one-year extension, but Milan would still need a new centre forward next season.
