Liverpool and AC Milan are also said to be keeping tabs on the 22-year-old, with a January transfer said to be possible for €35-€40million.
Okafor has scored 10 goals and assisted two others in 22 appearances this season, with three of those goals coming in the Champions League – one goal against each team in Group E.
With the forward joining Man City defender Manuel Akanji at the 2022 Qatar World Cup with Switzerland, the player’s focus will be on his nation for now but will have a huge decision to make once the tournament finishes.
