Udinese Values Goalkeeper Maduka Okoye at €15 Million

Udinese has placed a €15 million valuation on Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye as Juventus ramps up its search for a new shot-stopper ahead of the summer transfer window. Juventus is reportedly interested in Okoye after encountering difficulties in signing Aston Villa's Emiliano Martinez.

Okoye, who has emerged as a dependable goalkeeper in Serie A, has played a significant role in Udinese's recent success, helping the team secure a 10th place finish in the league. He has kept 10 clean sheets and conceded 32 goals in 30 appearances during the season.

Despite a suspension that caused him to miss the first six matches of the 2025-26 season, Okoye has established himself as Nigeria's new number one goalkeeper under coach Eric Chell. Udinese is under no immediate pressure to sell, and the €15 million asking price reflects their intent to extract full value for a goalkeeper proven at the Serie A level.
