Maduka Okoye transfer interest is rising as European clubs step up their pursuit of the Nigerian goalkeeper after a strong season with Udinese and impressive displays for the Super Eagles, with Turkish giants Beşiktaş and Italian side Juventus both monitoring him closely – SuperEaglesNG.com reports.
The news first came from Eagle Media, as reported through Soccernet.ng, which stated that clubs across Europe now track the 26-year-old shot-stopper after his consistent displays in Serie A and for Nigeria. The reports highlight growing interest as Okoye continues to raise his profile.
Okoye enjoyed a strong season at Udinese, where he kept ten clean sheets in 30 league matches. He established himself as a key player in the squad and earned praise for his reflex saves and calm style in possession.
On the international stage, the Super Eagles goalkeeper stepped up for the Nigeria national football team, especially in matches against Poland and Portugal, where he delivered solid performances in goal.
Juventus have shown early interest as they look to strengthen their squad, while Beşiktaş also target him as they rebuild ahead of the new season. Udinese now consider offers, although they expect a high fee due to his contract running for two more years and his growing value in European football.
