Serie A club, Udinese has removed Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye from its registered players list following an ongoing investigation into alleged betting irregularities.
The 25-year-old is being probed for suspicious betting patterns linked to a yellow card he received during Udinese’s 2-1 victory over Lazio on March 11, 2024.
Italian authorities allege unusual gambling activity surrounding the booking, which occurred in the 90th minute for time-wasting.
The investigation, led by the Prosecutor’s Office in Udine, was triggered by a complaint from betting agency Sisal.
