The Super Eagles goalkeeper could be on the move after impressive displays for Udinese in Serie A
Serie A champions Inter are reportedly in negotiations to sign Udinese's Nigerian international goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
The 24-year-old shot-stopper, valued at €12m, has caught the attention of the Nerazzurri as they seek a younger replacement for Yann Sommer.
Okoye's Impressive Season at Udinese
Despite not starting the 2023/24 season as Udinese's first-choice goalkeeper, Okoye played a crucial role in securing the team's safety in Serie A on the final matchday of the season.

Okoye, who will turn 25 in August, has 16 senior caps for Nigeria and is under contract with Udinese until June 2027. This season, he made 22 appearances across Serie A and the Coppa Italia helping Udinese escape relegation by two points.
Negotiations on the way for Okoye
According to Sky Sport Italia's transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, Inter are in talks with Udinese to finalise the deal for Okoye this summer.

The asking price of €12m plus add-ons is a sticking point, but Inter are attempting to negotiate a lower fee. If the transfer goes through, Okoye would join Inter as a potential long-term successor to Yann Sommer, reinforcing the club's goalkeeping options for the future.
