Galatasaray, Turkey’s reigning champions, are reportedly eyeing a move for Nigerian defender Bright Osayi-Samuel once his contract with Fenerbahce expires at the end of the season, as per Depar Sports.
The 26-year-old has been a key player for Fenerbahce since joining three years ago, helping them secure the Turkish Cup.

Despite Fenerbahce’s attempts to renew his contract, Osayi-Samuel is holding out for a better offer. His performances have attracted interest from English clubs, but Galatasaray is now monitoring the situation closely.
The potential transfer is controversial due to the fierce rivalry between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, and if Osayi-Samuel switches sides, it could stir up significant tension in Turkish football. Fenerbahce will be determined to prevent such a move as the season progresses.
