According to reports, new Leeds striker Noah Okafor will get a slight pay rise after his move to Leeds United from Milan, going from €2m to €2.4m per season.

Milan and Leeds United confirmed Okafor’s move to Elland Road on Thursday.

Okafor’s Leeds salary revealed

The Switzerland international completed a €21m transfer, including add-ons, and will get a pay rise at his new club, according to reports.

When Okafor joined Milan in a €15m deal from RB Salzburg in 2030, he signed a €2m-a-year deal, according to PianetaMilan, while TMW reports that his new salary at Leeds is €2.4m-per-season.

Why Okafor was Milan’s last-minute hero

Okafor scored seven goals in 54 appearances across all competitions with the Rossoneri, but six of those were scored from minute 75 to minute 90, including stoppage time, so the Serie A giants called Okafor their ‘last-minute hero’ after announcing his departure.

Okafor has signed a contract until June 2029 at Leeds United.

He had spent the second part of the 2024-25 season on loan at Napoli, winning the first Serie A title in his career.
