Fenerbahce willing to sanction Osayi-Samuel’s Premier League transfer

Osayi-Samuel has been linked with some English teams, and Fenerbahce would be willing to let him go for a reduced fee

Former Turkish Super Lig champions Fenerbahce are willing to sell Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi-Samuel, Soccernet.ng reports.

Osayi-Samuel has had an average campaign with Fenerbahce. He has a great campaign with the former Turkish champions last season, making 31 Super Lig appearances.

However, he has struggled to get games under his belt this season. Osayi-Samuel has made only 21 appearances in the Turkish top flight, 12 of which have been from the bench.

The 25-year-old defender was heavily linked with a transfer to the Premier League last summer,  but Fenerbahce stood their ground, retaining him.

However, with Jorge Jesus as coach, the Super Eagles star has fallen down the pecking order.

According to t24, Fenerbahce would be willing to let Osayi-Samuel leave the club this summer if they get a bid of at least €10million.

The former QPR man has been linked with Bournemouth, Fulham, and Leeds United. And these clubs have the financial capacity to match Fenerbahce’s valuation.

Nonetheless, the Turkish giants may not get up to that because of Osayi-Samuel’s lack of game time this season.
