Transfer: Udinese tell Juventus asking price for Maduka Okoye

Serie A club, Udinese have informed Juventus that Super Eagles goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye is valued as much as Aston Villa and Argentina international Emiliano Martínez.

This is as Juventus intensify their search for a new goalkeeper this summer and are hoping to land Maduka.

Juventus have shifted their focus to the Nigerian goalkeeper after facing challenges in their pursuit of Martínez, who has been rumored to be moving to Turin following his outstanding performances for Villa.

The Nigerian goalkeeper has become one of Juventus’ transfer targets as the Turin-based club aims to enhance their goalkeeping lineup ahead of the upcoming season.

Okoye had a remarkable season with Udinese, despite missing the first six matches due to a suspension related to a betting investigation.

The 26-year-old goalkeeper made a strong comeback, achieving 10 clean sheets in 30 matches across all competitions.

His performances were instrumental in helping Udinese secure a 10th-place finish in the Serie A standings, drawing interest from various clubs, including Juventus.

As reported by the Italian outlet, Il Messaggero Veneto, through Tuttomercatoweb, Udinese holds Okoye in high esteem and has set a €15 million valuation on the Nigerian international, a figure comparable to what Juventus is reportedly willing to negotiate for Emiliano Martínez of Aston Villa.
