Fenerbahçe’s contract renewal discussions with Super Eagles defender, Bright Osayi-Samuel, whose current deal expires in June, have not yet reached a conclusion, causing frustration within the team.
In response to the negative impact this situation has had on the Nigerian right-back’s performance, the yellow-navy team has signed Ongjen Mimovic from Red Star. Now, they find themselves at a critical decision-making juncture.
It is anticipated that Osayi-Samuel may be removed from the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) list and added to the squad submitted to UEFA for upcoming Europa League matches.
If this occurs, the experienced player will not be able to participate in domestic matches in Turkey.
Additionally, if an offer arises from the Premier League or Championship, Osayi-Samuel could leave Fenerbahçe by Monday at the latest to join a club in England.
Since 2021, the 27-year-old has scored 7 goals and provided 14 assists in 163 official matches while wearing the yellow-navy jersey.
