Inter tried to sign the Udinese goalkeeper in the summer but were scared off by the player's price

Inter Milan made an attempt to sign Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye this summer, but the deal fell through. The goalkeeper himself revealed the details.

Details: Udinese's keeper confirmed that Inter approached him over the summer, but the hefty €15 million asking price deterred the deal. The Nerazzurri were seeking a goalkeeper who could serve as a backup and eventually succeed Swiss international Yann Sommer, and Okoye was high on their list.

Quote: "Inter’s interest was genuine, but Udinese were asking for €15 million to secure my transfer.

It would have been a dream move, but I don’t regret how things turned out. I’m happy to still be here, being the number one at this club. The opportunity might come again if I keep working hard and stay consistent in my performances," the goalkeeper told Transfermarkt.

Reminder: We previously reported that Inter’s head coach, Simone Inzaghi, has attracted interest from Manchester United. The club has reportedly offered him the position, aiming for him to take charge during the upcoming international break.
