SSC Napoli have officially announced the signing of Noah Okafor from AC Milan on a loan deal with an option to buy, adding a fresh boost to their attacking lineup for the remainder of the 2024/25 season.
📢 Club Statement
“SSC Napoli communicates that it has acquired the sporting services of Noah Okafor from AC Milan on a paid loan with an option to buy.”
After weeks of intense speculation regarding Okafor’s future, the 24-year-old Swiss forward now has a new opportunity to reignite his career at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
đź’Ľ Transfer Details
- Type: Loan deal with an option to buy
- Loan Fee: €1.5 million
- Option to Buy: €23.5 million (at the end of the season)
- Previous Club: AC Milan
- New Club: Napoli
While Napoli did not reveal the exact financial details in their official statement, reports confirm the above figures, highlighting a potential bargain for a player with Okafor’s talent.
âš˝ Why Okafor Left AC Milan
Okafor struggled to secure regular playing time under Sergio Conceicao at Milan. Despite flashes of brilliance, his development stalled due to limited minutes on the pitch.
Moving to Napoli offers:
- A fresh start in Serie A
- Regular first-team football
- A chance to prove himself in one of Italy’s most dynamic attacking teams
🔥 A Strategic Move for Napoli
Okafor’s arrival is seen as a strategic reinforcement, especially following the departure of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Paris Saint-Germain earlier in the transfer window. Napoli needed a versatile attacker, and Okafor fits the bill perfectly.
What Okafor Brings to Napoli:
- Versatility: Can play as a winger or central forward
- Pace: Blistering speed to stretch defenses
- Technical Skills: Excellent dribbler with a keen eye for goal
- Potential: Still only 24, with room for growth under Antonio Conte
🎯 Napoli’s Ambitions
With Okafor’s addition, Napoli aim to:
- Strengthen their title defense in Serie A
- Make a deep run in European competitions
- Add depth and flexibility to Conte’s tactical setup
🗣️ Final Thoughts
This transfer is a win-win for both parties:
- Napoli get an exciting, high-potential attacker who can make an immediate impact.
- Okafor gets the chance to revive his career with regular playing time under a top coach.
If he performs well, expect Napoli to trigger the €23.5 million buy option and secure his services permanently.
