Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi-Samuel has confirmed that he will be leaving Turkish Super Lig club Fenerbahce when his contract expires at the end of the season. The 27-year-old’s future has been the subject of much speculation, especially as he has declined to sign a new deal with the club.
According to reports, Osayi-Samuel has already informed Fenerbahce officials of his intention to depart this summer.
Fenerbahce’s season ended on a disappointing note, with the club losing the Super Lig title to arch-rivals Galatasaray. The Turkish side was also eliminated early from both the Europa League and Turkish Cup, leaving Osayi-Samuel’s departure looking all but certain. Despite efforts from the club to retain him, the Nigerian winger’s decision to move on appears to be final.
A move to the Premier League is now on the cards, with Crystal Palace emerging as one of the primary destinations for the dynamic winger. The potential transfer has gained momentum following reports that Osayi-Samuel was seen attending a Palace match earlier in the season. Additionally, the player has shared social media posts expressing his support for the club, further fueling speculation about a move to Selhurst Park.
However, other Premier League clubs are expected to monitor the situation closely. Newly-promoted Leeds United could also be a potential destination, as the club looks to strengthen its squad ahead of next season. With his pace, dribbling ability, and direct approach, Osayi-Samuel could be a valuable asset to any Premier League side looking to bolster their attacking options.
The Nigerian international’s next career step promises to be an exciting one, as he prepares to make a significant impact in one of Europe’s top leagues. His departure from Fenerbahce seems imminent, and the Premier League could be the perfect stage for Osayi-Samuel to take his game to new heights.
“Osayi-Samuel has already informed Fenerbahce officials that he will leave them this summer,” a source close to the player revealed.
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on the Super Eagles star’s next move.
