Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi-Samuel has left fans guessing about his Fenerbahce future after his recent remarks, sparking interest in where he might play next season.
With his contract expiring next summer, the Nigeria international is yet to agree to a new deal, raising questions about whether he could exit the Turkish side as early as the January transfer window, Footballrover reports.
Negotiations between the defender and the Turkish giants reportedly stalled after he turned down a €2.5 million-per-year offer, reportedly seeking a higher wage.
As talks linger with a €1 million gap between the two parties, speculation is mounting on whether the club will part ways with the 26-year-old defender to avoid a free transfer next summer.
Following the Jose Mourinho’s side recent UEFA Europa League match against Manchester United, the full-back addressed his future, stating,
“I don’t know, it’s not up to me,” a response that’s only added fuel to the rumor mill.
