Super Lig side, Fenerbah\u00e7e Sk, have reportedly reached an agreement to extend Bright Osayi-Samuel\u2019s contract for another three years, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Transfermarkt<\/a>, citing Fanatik, the new deal, which will run until 2027, is expected to be officially announced by the club in the coming days.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old Nigerian star has been a vital figure for the Turkish giants since joining in 2021 from Queens Park Rangers, impressing with his contribution to the team\u2019s defence and attack.<\/p>\n

His renewal comes after months of speculation surrounding his future, fuelled by interest from English Premier League clubs and personal factors.<\/p>\n

\n

Super Eagles star, Bright Osayi-Samuel, has earlier been linked with a move to join Scottish side Glasgow Rangers.<\/p>\n

But, speaking to @soccernet_ng<\/a>, the Nigerian star might have ruled out a possible move to join the Gers. #TransferNews<\/a> #NaijaNews<\/a><\/p>\n

In October, reports emerged suggesting that Osayi-Samuel\u2019s girlfriend, who is a senior bank manager in London, had influenced his indecision about extending his stay in Turkey<\/a>. The player had also openly shared his ambition to return to England<\/a> to fulfil his dream of playing in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think everyone knows that my ambition is to play English football, to play in the [English] Premier League. No disrespect to Fenerbah\u00e7e, they\u2019ve done so much for me here in Turkey, but my ambition is to play in the Premier League,\u201d he earlier told Soccernet.ng.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite these factors, Fenerbah\u00e7e have made a bold move to keep the Super Eagles defender at the club amid persistent transfer speculation.<\/p>\n

Osayi-Samuel\u2019s contract extension is a significant boost for Jos\u00e9 Mourinho and the Yellow Canaries as they pursue Super Lig and Europa League success this season.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
