Bright Osayi-Samuel leaving Fenerbahçe?

Osayi-Samuel is one of the players Fenerbahçe has decided to part ways with at the end of the season.

Bright Osayi-Samuel's contract with Fenerbahçe is approaching its expiration at the end of the season. The club has proposed an extension of his contract, including a salary increase to 2 million Euros per year. However, Osayi-Samuel is insisting on a salary of 2.5 million Euros annually, resulting in a deadlock in the negotiations. The player indicated during a press conference that he expects the club president to discuss a new contract offer with him. Should the parties fail to reach an agreement, it is probable that the player will leave at the end of the season.

Fenerbahçe placed Bright Osayi-Samuel on the transfer list as he did not extend his contract, which ends at the season's end. Despite interest, no satisfactory offer was received, and the European transfer window closed. Due to foreign player quota issues, his license is expected to be suspended, and he may leave for free at the season's end. There were particularly expectations of offers from England, but they did not meet the club's hopes.

Crystal Palace is reportedly close to completing the transfer of Bright Osayi-Samuel from Fenerbahçe. Osayi-Samuel is interested in playing in the English Premier League.

Osayi-Samuel's contract with Fenerbahçe is set to expire on June 30. He is contemplating a move to England to be closer to his girlfriend, who holds a senior executive position at a bank in London. Osayi-Samuel has communicated to the Fenerbahçe management that he is receptive to transferring to a Premier League club should an offer arise; otherwise, he is content to remain with Fenerbahçe. He refuted rumors about demanding 2.5 million Euros annually from Fenerbahçe, expressing that he would not betray the club.

There is interest from English clubs in signing Bright Osayi-Samuel. Fenerbahçe is looking to negotiate terms to prevent losing him for free. The player's salary demand of 2.5 million Euros has been an issue in reaching a deal.

Turkish side Fenerbahce are willing to let former QPR winger Bright Osayi-Samuel return to England. Versatile Osayi-Samuel, 26, could be sold cheaply this summer as the Super Lig club look to trim their payroll. There could yet be more clubs in for his signature depending on the price.
