Galatasaray have reportedly expressed keen interest in Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
The Turkish Super Lig champions want to sign the Udinese goalkeeper as a replacement for Uruguayan veteran Fernando Muslera, who has left the club after 14 years.
Reports indicate that Udinese are willing to cash in on Okoye as they look to raise funds to bolster their squad ahead of next season.
Talks between Udinese and Galatasaray are said to be at an early stage.
Okoye made 25 appearances for Udinese last season, keeping four clean sheets and conceding 40 goals.
The former Watford goalkeeper made 73 saves for the Zebras, recording a save percentage of 64.6%.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray are still in talks with Napoli over a permanent move for Victor Osimhen.
The Super Lig champions have seen their fourth bid rejected by the Serie A champions.
It remains to be seen if Galatasaray will prepare another bid for the Super Eagles striker.
