Osayi-Samuel Turns Down Fenerbahce Contract, Premier League Clubs on Alert

36

Super Eagles right-back Bright Osayi-Samuel could be set to leave Fenerbahce during the January transfer window.

The 26-year-old has rejected a new long-term contract, and the club may be forced to sell him when the window reopens.

Osayi-Samuel has less than a year remaining on his current deal, and Fenerbahce has not been able to convince him to sign an extension.

According to Turkish outlet Fanatik, Osayi-Samuel turned down Fenerbahce’s contract offer of a net salary worth €2.5 million per year, with both parties reportedly €1 million apart in negotiations.

Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest are said to be interested in the former Blackpool player, while Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers are also monitoring the situation, though they have yet to make a concrete offer.
