Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has returned to Udinese for the club’s 2026/27 pre‑season, reporting back on Monday, 13 July 2026, after completing his off‑season travels.
The Nigerian shot‑stopper spent part of his vacation in Dubai before heading to Thailand to relax and unwind ahead of the new campaign.
Softfootball had earlier reported how Okoye attracted huge attention when he was seen sitting side‑by‑side with American music star Cardi B, with the pair engaging in a brief conversation that sparked relationship rumours on social media.
This happened during his trip to Paris Fashion Week, where he attended the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2026 Haute Couture Show.
Okoye now returns to Udinese after a strong 2025/26 season, where he helped the club secure a 10th‑place finish in Serie A, keeping 10 clean sheets and establishing himself as one of the league’s standout goalkeepers.
