Fenerbahçe had decided not to renew Bright Osayi-Samuel’s contract. Following this decision, it became certain that the club would not continue with the player for another season.
As a result, the Nigerian right-back will officially become a free agent as of tomorrow.
In light of this development, Osayi-Samuel appeared to be very close to signing with Beşiktaş, but minor issues emerged during negotiations, ultimately causing the deal to fall through.
According to recent rumors, Birmingham City — who earned promotion to the Championship last season and aim to build a strong squad — are now showing interest in the player.
Bright Osayi-Samuel played for Fenerbahçe for five seasons and consistently featured in the starting eleven, delivering steady performances throughout his time at the club.
However, the past season was one of the worst in his career. Despite making 39 appearances, he failed to score or provide an assist. This dip in form played a significant role in the club’s decision not to extend his contract.
Nevertheless, due to his previous strong displays both in the Süper Lig and during his time at QPR, Birmingham City remain very eager to sign him.
