Bright Osayi-Samuel Clarifies Fenerbahçe Future Amid Premier League Interest Nigeria international Bright Osayi-Samuel has responded to swirling rumors regarding his Fenerbahçe future, denying reports that he turned down a contract extension with the Turkish club. The versatile fullback, whose contract with Fenerbahçe is set to expire this summer, insists his focus remains firmly on securing the Turkish Super Lig title for his team, amidst growing speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League. The 27-year-old defender, who joined Fenerbahçe from Queens Park Rangers in January 2021, has become a key figure for the Istanbul giants. With just a few months left on his current contract, reports have suggested that Osayi-Samuel could soon leave Fenerbahçe as a free agent, with English clubs such as Crystal Palace, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Nottingham Forest reportedly showing interest in securing his services. Despite ongoing talks about a new deal, there has been no breakthrough, sparking speculation that Osayi-Samuel is stalling negotiations in order to pursue a move to England. However, in an exclusive interview with Turkish outlet Aspor, the Nigerian international moved quickly to clear the air and address the rumors head-on. "It is difficult to comment on transfer talks," Osayi-Samuel said. "Many people act as though they know the full details, but the reality is I am very happy playing for Fenerbahçe. I’ve heard claims that I signed a contract and then rejected it, but there’s no truth to that. I have a very good relationship with the club president, and we will discuss everything after the season." Osayi-Samuel emphasized that his sole focus at the moment is on helping Fenerbahçe clinch the Turkish Super Lig title. With just seven matches left in the season, Fenerbahçe remain three points behind leaders Galatasaray, and the Nigerian believes his team can still snatch the title from their bitter rivals if they maintain a perfect run. "We need to focus on ourselves," he continued. "We have seven crucial matches ahead. If we win all of them, I believe we will be champions. Every game from now on is like a final for us. We will take it one match at a time, and our next match is the most important." Osayi-Samuel's commitment to Fenerbahçe was evident in his performance on Sunday, as he played a pivotal role in their 3-1 victory over Sivasspor. The result kept José Mourinho’s side firmly in the hunt for the title and handed them a vital three points in their pursuit of Galatasaray. Since joining Fenerbahçe, Osayi-Samuel has made 103 league appearances for the club, following a successful spell at QPR in the English Championship. Originally signed as a winger, he has successfully adapted to a modern fullback role under Mourinho’s guidance, earning a reputation as one of the league’s most versatile defenders. His market value is currently estimated at around €7 million, a testament to his impressive development in Turkey. Despite the interest from Premier League clubs, Osayi-Samuel’s commitment to Fenerbahçe and his desire to secure silverware this season suggest that any decisions regarding his future will be postponed until after the season’s conclusion. As the Super Lig title race intensifies, Osayi-Samuel’s future remains uncertain, but for now, his focus is firmly on helping Fenerbahçe achieve their championship dreams.
