The Turkish giants are facing a critical situation regarding the future of Bright Osayi-Samuel, whose contract is nearing its end, according to Haber.
Two English clubs—one from the Premier League and another from the Championship—are showing serious interest in the player. With his demands for a pay raise slowing down negotiations, Fenerbahçe’s management has been forced into urgent talks to prevent his departure.

Osayi-Samuel has been instrumental in the team’s performance, and Fenerbahçe is keen to retain him, fearing they might lose a versatile player. The club is now accelerating efforts to meet his terms and extend his contract, recognizing his value as both a defender and winger. According to Transfermarkt the players current value estimates at €8,5 million.
At the same time, Fenerbahçe is also working on renewing Irfan Can Kahveci’s contract, aiming to secure the long-term futures of both key players. The club is keen to avoid disruptions to the squad’s stability, especially with external clubs closely watching the situation.
The next few weeks will be pivotal for Fenerbahçe as they negotiate both deals to maintain squad continuity. However, if an agreement is not reached soon, Osayi-Samuel could be tempted by the offers from English clubs, leading to a potential transfer in the next window.
