Juventus Consider ₦23bn Move for Super Eagles Keeper Maduka Okoye
Juventus have stepped up their interest in Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye as they plan defensive changes for next season. The Serie A champions initially targeted Aston Villa’s World Cup winner Emiliano Martínez, but stalled talks have forced them to explore alternatives. Reports now name the 26-year-old Okoye as a primary backup option. Okoye enjoyed a standout 2025/26 campaign with Udinese, claiming Player of the Season honours and keeping ten clean sheets in 30 matches. His big-game composure has convinced Juventus he can handle pressure at the Allianz Stadium. Under contract until 2028, Okoye could be secured for around €15m (approximately ₦23bn). Udinese are open to a sale if their valuation is met and have lined up a replacement.
