Nigerian defender Bright Osayi-Samuel, who currently plays for Fenerbahçe, has made a statement regarding his future.
There had been reports linking the player with clubs such as Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers, suggesting he rejected Fenerbahçe’s contract renewal offer because of Premier League interest. However, Osayi-Samuel has denied these claims and stated that his sole focus is on winning the league title with Fenerbahçe.
Contract negotiations between the player and the club are still ongoing, but no agreement has been reached yet.
The Nigerian right wing-back said:
“I play for Fenerbahçe and I’m very happy here.”
He also noted that he plans to meet again with Fenerbahçe president Ali Koç at the end of the season to evaluate the situation.
At the moment, Fenerbahçe trails current leaders Galatasaray by three points. Osayi-Samuel emphasized that he is fully focused on the title race.
Contrary to speculation, the player could still be part of Fenerbahçe’s plans for next season.
