UDINESE have reportedly offered Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye to Galatasaray amid his sporting fraud investigation.
The Serie A club are believed to be asking for a €15m fee for the 25-year-old.
According to European transfer expert Ekrem Konur, the Nigeria international has been proposed to the Turkish Super Lig champions this summer, although any negotiations are still at a very early stage.
The same source also noted interest from Bournemouth, Inter and Torino, with growing English Premier League focus on a possible move.
Understandably, Udinese are eager to get rid of Okoye as he was just last month deferred to the disciplinary commission for sporting fraud.
Okoye is accused of deliberately receiving a yellow card for time-wasting at the 64th minute of a Serie A match between Udinese and Lazio in March 2024.
Authorities had flagged suspicious betting activity around the card, which generated over €120,000 in winnings for punters based around the city of Udine.
Okoye and three friends were placed under investigation, and if found guilty of sporting fraud, he risks a four-year ban.
The Germany-born star has 18 senior caps for Nigeria and joined Udinese from Watford in 2023, making 48 appearances for the Italian club.
Okoye’s current contract with Udinese expires in 2028.
