Okafor Joins Napoli As Kvaratskhelia Replacement

Following Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s departure last month, Napoli announced on Monday the signing of AC Milan attacker Noah Okafor.

Switzerland’s Okafor arrives at the Serie A leaders on loan until the end of the season, with an option to buy.

Georgia’s Kvaratskhelia left Napoli in January for Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth a reported 70 million euros ($72 million).

Aurelio De Laurentiis, the owner of Napoli, said, “Welcome Noah,” on X.

De Laurentiis had attempted to sign Borussia Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi and Fenerbahce’s Allan Saint-Maximim before turning his attention to Okafor.

Since joining Milan from Salzburg in July 2023, the 24-year-old has only managed one goal in 11 league games this year.

Before hosting Udinese on Sunday, Napoli are three points clear of Inter Milan in the standings.
