Michael Okeke has officially brought an end to his nine-year chapter with Manchester City after sealing a transfer to Puskás Akadémia in Hungary — www.naijnaira.com reports.
The Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I side confirmed his arrival, securing the midfielder on a three-year deal that runs until the summer of 2028.
Okeke, who never broke into City’s senior team, built a reputation within the youth setup, making his mark with the U18 and U21 squads.
The Manchester-born player carries a rich heritage, being of Nigerian and Hungarian descent, which has shaped his international career choices.
His football journey started at Bolton Wanderers before he switched to Manchester City in 2016, where he won the U18 Premier League title.
At Puskás Akadémia, Okeke reconnects with Levente Babó, a coach who previously guided him during his time with Hungary’s U18 and U19 teams.
Since making his youth debut for Hungary in 2022, Okeke has gone on to collect seven appearances for the U21 national team.
He is already in camp with Hungary’s squad under coach Zoltán Szélesi as they gear up for a crucial European Championship qualifier against Lithuania.
