Alvin Okoro: Nigerian centre-forward linked with Juve Stabia move in Italy

Nuhu Adams

Alvin Okoro has completed a loan move from Venezia to fellow Serie B side Juve Stabia, joining the Castellammare club on a temporary deal that runs from 2026-02-02 until 2026-06-30. The 20-year-old centre-forward arrives with a current market value of €800k and will wear the number 90 shirt for his new team.

The transfer sees Okoro leave Venezia, where he was on the books of the first team after returning from a spell with Juventus Next Gen. The deal is explicitly registered as a loan transfer, with Venezia retaining his rights and already scheduled to receive him back at the end of the agreement, when he is due to return to the Lagunari on 2026-06-30.

Okoro’s switch continues a rapid rise through Italian football’s structure. Born on 26 Mar 2005 in Vicenza and standing at 1.81 m, he has developed as a centre-forward with a right-footed profile, combining Italian and Nigerian nationality. After early development at Pordenone Under 17, he moved to Venezia Primavera in 2022, a step that proved key in pushing his market value from youth-team levels to six figures.

A loan to Vis Pesaro 1898 in 2024 gave him his first taste of senior football, followed by a return to Venezia in mid-2025 and a subsequent loan to Juventus Next Gen later that summer. During this period his valuation climbed sharply: from €100k at Venezia Primavera in June 2024 to €150k at Vis Pesaro later that year, then jumping to €800k at Vis Pesaro in June 2025 and remaining at €800k during his time with Juventus Next Gen in December 2025.

The move to Juve Stabia keeps Okoro in Serie B and in Italy’s professional pyramid, rather than sending him abroad or back to his country of heritage. Both Venezia and Juve Stabia compete in Serie B, ensuring that he will remain at the same competition level while adjusting to a new environment, teammates, and tactical demands. There is no indication in the data that he will become a free agent at the conclusion of this loan; the upcoming transfer entry confirms his scheduled return to Venezia when the loan expires.

No specific match statistics, recent performances, or seasonal appearance figures are provided in the available data, so his exact on-pitch output this season cannot be detailed. However, the pattern of loan moves — from Venezia Primavera to Vis Pesaro, then to Juventus Next Gen, and now to Juve Stabia — underlines how clubs see his potential and are seeking to give him regular minutes in competitive senior football.

For Juve Stabia, securing a young, dual-nationality centre-forward with an €800k valuation on loan represents a low-risk way to add depth and attacking variety. For Venezia, it is a continuation of a development strategy that has already seen Okoro’s value rise significantly over a short period. How he performs in this spell with Juve Stabia will go a long way toward determining his role when he returns to Venezia at the end of the loan and could be a decisive chapter in shaping his reputation and long-term prospects in Italian football.
