Red Bull Salzburg attacker and reported Liverpool target Noah Okafor has told his agent he wants to join AC Milan, according to Calciomercato.
Although the youngster has told his agent he wants to join the Italian giants, if Liverpool were to step-up their pursuit of the attacker, they would have a stronger chance of landing him in January.
It is said that the centre-forward wants to leave the Austrian outfit ahead of next season.
Okafor was previously hailed as a ‘magnificent’ player by Switzerland U21’s boss Mauro Lustrinelli, and now it seems he’s living up to his potential.
The Italian outlet claims the 22-year-old is very thankful for the interest from the Serie A giants, and he has asked his representatives to investigate the situation further ahead of a potential move.
He hopes to join a top club, presumably with European pedigree – like Milan.
In 14 Austrian Bundesliga games this term, the attacker has bagged seven goals.
