Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye recently disclosed why a potential transfer to Inter Milan was unsuccessful. Okoye, who was under consideration to become the backup for Inter's first choice goalkeeper Yann Sommer, revealed that Udinese's financial expectations halted the move. Udinese reportedly demanded a transfer fee of €15 million approximately ₦26.6 billion, which led Inter to seek alternatives.

Though the move fell through, Okoye remained positive about staying with Udinese and emphasized his commitment, stating, I’m not sad about this I’m happy to continue at Udinese. Inter would have been a dream, but I’ll keep moving forward. The Nigerian international expressed his intention to remain with Udinese through the January transfer window, believing that continued hard work will create future opportunities.
