Turkish Super Lig side Beşiktaş have renewed their pursuit of Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, with the club reportedly adding the Nigeria international to their list of transfer targets ahead of the January window.

Okoye has endured a difficult start to the season at Udinese, conceding 25 goals across 10 league appearances. Despite those struggles, Beşiktaş remain undeterred and are eager to bring in the shot-stopper to challenge first-choice goalkeeper Alexander Nübel for the number-one jersey.

A return to Turkey on the cards

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Black Eagles have made Okoye one of their priority targets. The 27-year-old is said to be open to a move to the Turkish Super Lig — a competition he would not be entirely unfamiliar with, given links to Turkey in his career history.

Okoye, who previously played for Sparta Rotterdam before joining Udinese, currently carries an estimated market value of €10 million. His availability and reported openness to a switch make him an attainable option for Beşiktaş as they look to deepen their goalkeeping options.

The interest from Beşiktaş comes despite recent criticism of Okoye's form. Udinese goalkeeper coach Dario Padelli has publicly defended the Nigerian stopper, backing him to rediscover his best level as the season progresses.
