According to Longo, Milan rejected Bologna's rent-and-buy offer for Okafo.

Ocafo is not unsold for Milan, but it is regarded as an asset of clear value and will not be transferred at a low price. Simply put, Milan will not let Okafor leave the team for less than 15 million to 20 million euros.

Bologna regards Okafo as a replacement for Endoye and made its first offer yesterday: a paid loan with selective buyout clause, with a total value of about 15 million to 16 million euros.

Milan responded quickly to Bologna's offer: it would not consider a lease offer without a forced buyout. Milan will only consider selling Okafo when it receives a permanent transfer offer of at least €18 million to €20 million.

Given Okafor's outstanding performance in the preseason, it is not ruled out that he will stay in the Ross and Blacks to help Allegri strengthen his offensive firepower, especially if the team has sent Abraham and Jovic away and loaned Kamada out of the way.
