Report: 18-cap Super Eagles star agrees to join Victor Osimhen at Galatasaray

Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi-Samuel has agreed on personal terms with Galatasaray ahead of a potential transfer at the end of the season, Soccernet.ng reports.

Osayi-Samuel’s future has dominated transfer talks in Turkish football in the past six months. The 27-year-old defender joined Fenerbahce from QPR in 2021, and he has blossomed there. He has made 157 appearances, with seven goals and 14 assists to his name.

But it now seems that Osayi-Samuel is looking for a new challenge. This is as his contract is set to expire in June 2025, but he has refused to sign an extension despite multiple offers from Fenerbahce.

Osayi-Samuel has been heavily linked with a transfer to the English Premier League. He was even sighted watch a Crystal Palace game against Arsenal at Selhurst Park two weeks ago.

However, recent reports form Turkey are indicating that Osayi-Samuel may not move to England.

According to BBO Sports, the Fenerbahce star has agreed on personal terms with Turkish Super Lig champions.

Although nothing is concrete yet, it is not the first time that Osayi-Samuel has been linked with Galatasaray. If it is confirmed that he has signed an extension, then he will automatically move to the Lions at the end of the season.

This transfer will cause a stir in Turkish football as Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are the two biggest club in Turkey and they have a big rivalry.

Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen currently dons Galatasaray colors, but he would have left the club by the end of the season. So Osayi-Samuel and Osimhen might not get to play together.
