Premier League clubs on alert as Osayi-Samuel rejects new Fernabahce contract

Osayi-Samuel missed Nigeria's game against Libya at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium due to an injury.

Super Eagles right back, Bright Osayi-Samuel has sent a message about his availability to his Premier League suitors after rejecting a new deal from Fernabahce, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 26-year-old’s contract with Jose Mourinho’s side runs till the summer of 2025, meaning he’s allowed to enter into pre-contract agreements with other clubs when the transfer window opens on the 1st of January.

The Yellow Canaries have been trying to tie the former Queens Park Rangers defender to a new deal but so far, an agreement between both parties are worlds apart.

According to Turkish outlet, Fanatik, Bright Osayi-Samuel has rejected Fernabahce’s new contract offer of a net salary worth €2.5m per annum with both parties are said to be €1m away from an agreement and if the former Blackpool doesn’t get the offer he wants, he will leave when his contract runs out next summer.

Soccernet.ng earlier reported that three English sides are interested in Osayi’s services but  Crystal Palace is believed to be leading the race for him while Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers have nothing concrete on the table yet.

Osayi-Samuel is currently sidelined with a foot injury and will miss Fenerbahce’s Europa League home clash against Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United on Thursday night.

The wing-back joined Fenerbahçe from QPR in 2020. Since then, he’s played 145 matches for the yellow-navy blue jersey recording seven goals and providing fourteen assists for Fernabahce across all competitions.
