Orji Okwonkwo returns to Cittadella after a six-month loan at Reggiana. He previously played for Cittadella in the 2021/22 season, making 20 appearances and scoring 8 goals. Okwonkwo debuted in Serie A with Bologna in November 2016, spent two seasons there, then moved to the MLS to play for Montreal Impact, where he made 44 appearances and scored 10 goals. In the first part of this season, he was with Reggiana. The transfer to Cittadella is on a loan basis.

Orji Okwonkwo is expected to leave Reggiana in January. Bologna is considering transferring him to Cittadella, where he previously excelled before a doping ban. The forward, born in 1998, had shown significant promise at Cittadella three years ago, catching attention with his performances prior to his suspension. Bologna sees this move as a potential opportunity for Okwonkwo to revive his career at a club where he once thrived.
