Inter Milan could make shock move for Super Eagles goalkeeper

Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has become a transfer target for Italian Serie A champions Inter Milan this summer, Soccernet.ng reports.

Okoye enjoyed a brilliant campaign with Udinese in the just-concluded Serie A season. The Super Eagles star has kept five clean sheets in 22 appearances for Udinese. He also had an impressive 72% accuracy in Serie A.

Okoye’s brilliance was key in Udinese’s relegation fight, as they finished the campaign having been relegated, as they finished the season in 15th place, two points above of the decline.

Last season was the perfect comeback for Okoye after struggling in the previous two seasons. And it seems the Super Eagles star’s performances have not gone unnoticed.

According to Italian journalist Di Marzio, Inter Milan could make a move for Okoye this summer following his impressive performances for his club.

This summer, the Nerazzurri could lose their backup goalkeeper Emil Audero, who was loaned to the club last season. And Okoye is one of the goalkeepers on Inter Milan’s list of potential replacements.

Okoye is valued at €4 million, a relatively decent price, but Inter Milan may be keen to take the Nigerian goalkeeper on loan.

However, it is a transfer that could stunt Okoye’s growth as he might not get enough playing time. Nonetheless, the 24-year-old might be tempted to accept the deal due to the attraction to be included in the books of a big club like Inter Milan.
