Maduka Okoye signs four-year contract extension with Udinese
Nigeria’s Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has committed his future to Italian Serie A side Udinese, signing a new four-year contract extension.
The club made the announcement on Tuesday afternoon through its official social media channels, confirming that the 24-year-old shot-stopper will remain with them until 2028.
Okoye, who joined Udinese from English Championship club Watford FC last season, has quickly established himself as a key player in the Italian top flight. His impressive performances between the posts, especially against some of Italy’s top teams, have earned him recognition and made him a fan favorite.
Last weekend, Okoye was in goal for Udinese in their opening game of the Serie A season, further solidifying his status as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. His commanding presence and crucial saves have not gone unnoticed, with several top European clubs reportedly showing interest in acquiring his services during the transfer window.
However, Udinese has moved swiftly to secure Okoye’s talents for the long term, reflecting their confidence in his abilities and potential to help the team achieve greater success in the coming years. The club’s decision to offer him a four-year extension is a clear indication of their belief in his future contributions.
With this new deal, Okoye is set to continue his growth and development in one of Europe’s most competitive leagues, as he aims to further enhance his reputation both in Italy and on the international stage with Nigeria’s Super Eagles.
