Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has reaffirmed his commitment to Udinese, insisting he is happy at the Serie A club despite continued speculation linking him with a move to Italian giants Juventus ahead of the 2026/2027 season.
Okoye emerged as one of Udinese’s standout performers during the 2025/2026 campaign, producing a series of impressive displays that attracted interest from several top clubs in Italy.
Although he endured a difficult start to the season, the Nigerian international rediscovered his best form and established himself as one of the league’s most reliable goalkeepers.
The 26-year-old recorded 10 clean sheets while conceding 32 goals in 30 Serie A appearances, playing a pivotal role in Udinese’s 10th-place finish.
His consistent performances sparked reports of interest from Juventus, who are believed to be monitoring the goalkeeper as they assess options to strengthen their squad this summer.
