Fenerbahçe full-back Bright Osayi-Samuel is drawing interest from both Norwich City and French club RC Lens as his contract situation remains unresolved ahead of the winter transfer window, as per Turkish media outlet Fanatik.
The 26-year-old Nigerian defender, whose current deal expires at the end of the season, will be able to negotiate with foreign clubs in January for a potential summer move. Since joining Fenerbahçe from Queens Park Rangers in 2021, Osayi-Samuel has become a key figure in the squad, helping them secure the Turkish Cup last season.

While Fenerbahçe is keen to retain him, offering a new contract worth 2 million euros annually, Osayi-Samuel is reportedly holding out for 2.5 million euros—a 40% increase from his current salary.
Both Norwich City and Lens are ready to make offers if no agreement is reached with the Turkish club.
Osayi-Samuel, recently recalled to the Nigerian national team for their upcoming qualifiers against Libya, remains undecided about his future. Fenerbahçe will need to act quickly to avoid losing him for free next summer.
