Beşiktaş aims to strengthen its squad for the next season and is positioning itself to sign Maduka Okoye, a 26-year-old Nigerian-German goalkeeper from Udinese. The Istanbul club, which has a new coach named Vincenzo Italiano, has made signing a goalkeeper a priority after conceding 40 goals in the league last season. Okoye's profile is considered a match for the club's expectations.
The Nigerian international has also been a target for Juventus for a long time, though no official offer has been made. A report from Footy-Africa confirms the interest from Juventus and states that both Torino and Inter Milan are also monitoring the goalkeeper. The same source suggests that Udinese is open to a departure for Okoye. Okoye has two seasons left on his contract. The source also suggests Udinese may have already started looking for a replacement, which indicates that talks could begin if a satisfactory bid is received. Okoye has 21 caps for Nigeria and made 30 appearances in Serie A during the 25/26 season. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €10.00m.
