Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has ruled out leaving Udinese this summer despite growing interest from Juventus and other clubs across Europe’s top five leagues.
Okoye kept 10 clean sheets in 30 league appearances last season, helping Kosta Runjaic’s side to a top half finish in Serie A, performances that have placed him firmly on the radar of top European clubs.
His displays at club level, combined with appearances in Nigeria’s pre World Cup friendlies against Poland and Portugal, have further boosted his profile among clubs seeking a reliable goalkeeper option.

The 26 year old, valued at 10 million euros by Transfermarkt and with two years remaining on his contract, said his focus remains fully on Udinese as the club begins pre season preparations.
Okoye is expected to link up with Eric Chelle’s Super Eagles squad for Nigeria’s 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in September, where he will compete for the number one jersey following the return of Stanley Nwabali to Chippa United.
Udinese open their 2026 to 2027 campaign with a Coppa Italia fixture against Serie B side Padova on August 15.
