US Cremonese eyes Massimo Coda as Okereke’s future remains uncertain amid European interest

The Nigerian attacker scored 9 goals for Cremonese last season which has piqued the interest of Besiktas JK who are looking to secure his signature

US Cremonese are reportedly looking to sell Nigerian forward David Okereke to recruit Massimo Coda as an attacking reinforcement for the Serie B 2023-24 season, Soccernet.ng reports.

The forward has garnered significant attention from European clubs, with his performances last season showcasing his potential and goal-scoring prowess.

The 24-year-old forward found the back of the net seven times in Serie A and added two goals in the Coppa Italia, proving himself as a dangerous and impactful player.

Besiktas JK has emerged as a potential destination for Okereke, with the club seeking to reinforce their attacking options for the upcoming season.

However, before Cremonese can make a move to secure the signature of his potential replacement, Massimo Coda, they must finalize the sale of Okereke.

With the relegation of the Cremona-based club, the 25-year-old has been reportedly linked with a move away from the club, following the footstep of his countryman, Cyriel Dessers, who departed for Rangers FC after the team’s exit from Serie A.

The interest in Okereke’s services has not gone unnoticed, and several European teams are reportedly vying for his signature.

However, his club are also in the market trying to snap an attacking reinforcement for their upcoming Serie B season.

But, for any potential move for an attacking reinforcement to materialize, they must secure the necessary finances from selling the Nigerian forward to Besiktas.

Okereke’s future is still a mystery as the transfer window goes on, and Besiktas is closely monitoring events related to the probable move.
