Premier League outfit Bournemouth have been linked with a move for Nigeria International Maduka Okoye in the summer.
A regular starter at Udinese in Italy’s Serie A, Okoye is attracting interest from several European clubs, including AC Milan and Bournemouth. The Serie A giants attempted a move last summer, but without success.
However, Okoye’s departure is once again on the cards for next summer and according to Africafoot, Bournemouth are keen to sign the Udinese goalkeeper and have even submitted a €13 million offer to the Italian club.
The deal has progressed to over 30% between the parties. Since returning from injury, Okoye has resumed his starting role and in 19 Serie A matches, he has kept three clean sheets and made numerous saves to save his team.
The former Watford, Fortuna Düsseldorf, and Sparta Rotterdam goalkeeper has a contract with Udinese that expires in June 2028.
Bournemouth will have to pull out all the stops to land him. His market value on Transfermarkt is €7.5 million.
Okoye was left out of the Super Eagles squad for last month’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
He was initially named in coach Eric Chelle’s 39-man provisional squad before failing to make the final 23-man selection.

Okoye is the best goalkeeper for the Super Eagles, end of story.
Okoye and Onana are generational just Agbim and Akpeyi. So I won’t be surprised if some people can not avoid this calamity keepers.
In your mind now, you have made sense…..LMAOOo
You have spent nearly half your wretched life trying to pull this boy down, yet he keeps growing from strength to strength, from finishing as best GK in the eredivisie, he has gone on to become the 1st choice GK in a Serie A club for 2 seasons now, listed as top 3 Gks in the Serie A xG ratings for 2023/24 season and was no 1 in saves from shots in the 18yrd box for the current season before he got injured last december.
Don’t you ever get tired of humilating yourself…..LMAOOoo…?
To rub salt on your injuries and pepper on your ulcers, CSN is now reporting that “Bournemouth are keen to sign the Udinese goalkeeper and have even submitted a €13 million offer to the Italian club. The deal has progressed to over 30% between the parties…”
He is indeed a calamity goalkeeper……LMAOOo
Your fake Enyeama is being hawked all over the South African league like ripe agbalumo on 3rd Mailand Bridge, yet no one wants him. He can’t even make it into the same Kaizer Chiefs Akpeyi made it to, benching 2 SA national team goalkeepers and leading them to the CAF CL final with 10 clean sheets.
Dutch, Italian and English Premier League clubs are really dumb……that is why they can’t avoid calamity GKs like Onana and Okoye……..LMAOooo
Yes o – you are a sabi guy!
Only people like you and we knows the real truth about “Calamity Okoye”. Don’t mind the wereys dat are attacking you on this one you Samuel are very correct!
Some mad man is there talking about winning shirt back kkkkk I laffing in swahilish.
Okoya Maduke is not a keeper, he should retire and pursue anoda business pls. Rubbish!
Hahahaha….funny enough, it is the madman on the street who is usually the first to call every passerby a mad person……LMAOooo
Once again….
“Bournemouth are keen to sign the Udinese goalkeeper and have even submitted a €13 MILLION offer to the Italian club. The deal has progressed to over 30% between the parties…”

In the eyes of a truly mad man, the rest of the entire world is mad……….LMAOOoo
LMAOO And it is the madman with a guilty conscience who runs loose foaming at the mouth even whether or not a comment about mad people made was about him or not.
That comment was not directed at you but as you have taken ownership of it, you are welcome to it lol
Action as they say speaks louder than words kkkk
WEREY! lmaoo!
Continue quoting madness that you saw on the internet and keep on sucking Maduke Okoya’s ****, whatever you are benefiting from it, we all hope it’s keeping you in good stead lool
Useless worthless old man – Jobless troll hahahaha
Who mentioned your name too….? Apparently, even though your brain is suffering from chronic psychotic imbalance, your conscience still works extra shift optimally……LMAOooo
Like the typical lunatics on the street, once you correct them by telling them they are the mad ones, they will chase after you and want to bite you with their rotten teeth.
Okoye is not a keeper, but he is 1st choice in a Serie A club for the 2nd season running…..LMAOooo….. with an EPL club ready to part with 13m to have him on their team……and yet, generational lunatic is denying his identity and trying to play around his stupidity with words…….LMAOOo
Okoye is a calamity, yet he was courted by both Milan clubs and AS Roma after just 1 season in Italy before his club quickly tied him down with a contract extension…..LMAOooo.
Is it not better to have the type of madness of top club directors in top leagues in the world who have been showing interest in Okoye since his journey from the German 4th division to the Italian Serie A, than have your own breed of waste dump madness that scavenges leftovers from refuse bins….???
In the words of Dustin Woodward, stupidity is the last resort of insecure people with a crumbling position trying to salvage their battered esteem…….LMAOooo
Aja digbolugi can not find logic, facts of figures to defend is position anymore and wants to resort to playing the ostrich…….LMAOOoo
When you are done biting trees, kindly let us know ehn. LMAOOoo
I see it pains you so badly that I suck Okoye’s **** while nobody sucks yours because of your madness, look for rat poison to swallow ehn…..LMAOo
Please, you people should not distract him .He need to concentrate on the job at hand If he win his shirt back from Nwabili then you can congratulated him. l will advice him to focus on his club to prevent carelessness.
The best Nigerian Goalkeeper as at today wether we like it or not is MADUKA OKOYE. Nwabali is trying and got lot of lucks on his side. I don’t know may be tomorrow if we are able to convince Atubolu and co but as of today, Okoye is the best. Though, not yet there but comparing to others. He’s the best.. He only needs to get his heart together and be calm whenever he’s on national duty. I’ve never experienced naija fans taunting Nwabali before like they did or doing to Okoye and Uzoho and for Chelle to be looking for Goalkeepers to the extent of calling Okoye back? May be he knows what we don’t know already.
In my opinion we do not have a goal keeper. Nwabali and Okoye are both not good enough. We need at least 2 solid goal keepers, you guys need to allow the coach do his work
Sean,, pple like you should not have the audacity to open mouth in public – you should first learn sense before anything.
Luck as a word does not have any plural form – No such thing as “Lucks” bros.
Go back to school first before opening your stinking breath to comment here.

May God continue to bless and guide everyone of you in Jesus name Amen.
@Stan
And you 2. you are very correct, according to the Geriatric called Gerry who Woke up and is now residing in Jones town somewhere in the suburbs – If you ask Amala he can take you there, it is right next to Willoughby street, in Umuahia, after the big roundabout next to The Immaculate Conception Grammar school – CIC Umuahia.
I thought you have become matured after heading into oblivion but I you have become even more immatured and disrespectful. Yet you still don’t have a name attached to your evil self. Okoye is not a goalie for Eagles. If Onana can goto ManU why will rumours of Bournemouth be celebrated. drey you need to have a change in mindset since rumours has become your yardstick to judge who is better than who. Umuofia clown!
Hahahahaha….since you sold yourself into slavery in America, scavenging for daily bread from shift to shift, you have become more senseless……LMAOooo.
Just like Okoye, Onana is not a good goalkeeper, yet he was first choice at Ajax, first choice at Inter Milan and first choice at Manchester United……a Black, African goalkeeper has been unbenchable in 3 of the biggest clubs in Europe for almost 10 years, yet he isn’t a good goalkeeper…….LMAOoo….please make that make sense to yourself. Oh…sorry, I’ve forgotten you are still as senseless as you were when you were still hawking goods in Ghana……LMAOooo
Despite your stupid hatred and jealousy, God has continued to uplift Maduka Okoye, helping him progress from the German 4th division to becoming the best GK in the Eredivisie and becoming one of the best in the Italian Serie A…….LMAOoo…..now he is being courted by an EPL club for the 2nd time in his career, it has turned to rumours in your head, just because good news about Maduka always pours red hot chilli pepper down you throat…….LMAOOo.
I didn’t know CSN too now carries rumours……LMAOooo.
And Even if it is a rumour, research has shown that in every rumour, there is always an element of truth. So when are we going to start hearing rumours about your own “good goalkeepers for the eagles”…..LMAOoo. They are so good we don’t hear any rumours of clubs wanting them or even submitting bids for them or commencing negotiations on a deal to sign them……LMAOooo. The one you hate and are jealous of the most is the one that keeps grabbing rumour headlines……LMAOooo
God has continued to prepare a table for Okoye in the presence of his enemies……LMAOoooo. They lied that he fixes matches and would not play again this season……LMAooo….like a Phoenix, the boy rose from the ashes of his injury and match fixing allegations after 3 months and reclaimed his no 1 shirt in a Serie A club for the 2nd time in his career…..LMAOooo. Indeed, he isn’t a good goalkeeper…….LMAOooo
Okoye is not a goalkeeper for the Eagles……….but after 17 matches, 13 goals conceded and 8 cleansheets……….But the low-budget Austin Ejide, your messiah who is being hawked all over the South African league, had just 7 clean sheets (4 at AFCON where Peserio played 7 defenders all the time…..LMAOOo) and conceded 17 goals in his first 17 matches as SE GK……ie, he conceeded more goals and kept less clean sheets in same number of matches……..LMAOooo.
I know you don’t have sense and failed mathematics at O level, so that piece of information can never make any meaning to you and your street dog up there……..LMAOoo.
Go and hang yourself if and when the Bournemouth deal eventually sails through ehn……LMAOoo.
The sporting directors of the clubs signing or bidding for him must be the stupidest people on the face of the earth
Imbecile.
Make Una leave Okoye alone. The boy sabi keep.
Yes, you’re not right but very wrong Maduke Okoya is drinking Milk while Magnesia is not beans for Geriatrics who Woke. Only sabi people should keep here other boys must press mute button.
As much as I appreciate Nwabali for standing tall when we were in need, my take is Okoye is a better keeper. But like everyone out there, they both have their pros and cons.
I think Okoye suffers from the pressure of international football hence the avoidable blunders. Like Onana, his focus level is inconsistent. But his positives are his positional awareness, reflex, passing ability, close range saves and the read of the game. Which makes him a modern goalkeeper. Not forgetting his age. He is young enough to fix his flaws and grow in confidence to withstand the pressure that usually frustrates his international football from been glorious. There’s a reason he is being courted by good clubs out there.
As for Nwabali, he isn’t that good with the saves, not much reflex and not much of a passer ( at least compared to Okoye). Positives are his good communication, good Pk saver and off course (and most importantly), his confidence.
So, if I have to put my money, it would be on Okoye in the long run. He simply has enough leeway to grow and develop.
But I digress, presently, as much as both could do a job, ı think the Super Eagles deserve better. They simply don’t give me the confidence I got when Enyeama minded the goal. If we can get someone better out there, ı don’t mind having a new number one while both deputise from the bench. And I believe Chelle Knows this much.
