Maduka Okoye has confirmed he is staying with Udinese for the 2026/27 season amid speculations surrounding his future at the club.

The Nigeria international has been linked with a move to Serie A giants Juventus after making a big impression at Udinese last summer.

Okoye kept 10 clean sheets in 30 league appearances with Udinese finishing in the top half of the table.

Juventus could turn to the former Sparta Rotterdam shot stopper after failing to land Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa.

The 26-year-old, however, said he remains committed to Udinese.

“Of course, I still have goals in my career, but currently my head is complete at Udinese. I enjoy it without thinking too much about the future,” Okoye told Transfermarkt.

Okoye has two years left on his contract with the Zebras.
