Reigning Turkish champions Galatasaray are planning a move for Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi-Samuel at the end of the season. Osayi-Samuel has made a significant impact at Fenerbahce since joining the club for €508,000 three years ago. His reliability as a right-back has been pivotal in the team’s success, including their Turkish Cup triumph two years ago.

The 26-year-old defender has drawn interest from multiple clubs, particularly from England, where he spent his formative years. With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, Fenerbahce is in a precarious position regarding his future. The club has attempted to persuade him to extend his stay but has faced resistance, as Osayi-Samuel seeks a more lucrative contract.
Galatasaray seems to be closely monitoring the situation, and reports from Depar Sports indicate they are keen on signing Osayi-Samuel once his contract lapses. This potential transfer is particularly noteworthy due to the intense rivalry between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, both based in Istanbul. Matches between these two clubs are notorious for their heated atmosphere, often accompanied by violence. If Osayi-Samuel were to move to Galatasaray, it would likely provoke a significant backlash from Fenerbahce supporters.
Should Fenerbahce fail to secure Osayi-Samuel’s contract renewal, they will undoubtedly take measures to prevent him from joining their fiercest rivals, adding more tension to an already volatile situation in Turkish football.
