Two Turkish Super Lig club are seriously interested in securing the services of Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi-Samuel this summer, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Osayi-Samuel’s contract at Fenerbahce expires at the end of June, which means he will officially become a free agent. This could potentially bring an end to his four-year stay at the club.<\/p>\n

However, the club have been making efforts to get the Super Eagles star to pen a contract-extension amid links to the English Premier League<\/a>. But nothing has come out of it yet, with 27-year-old defender still adamant.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, according to a recent statement by Turkish transfer expert Sercan Dikme,<\/a> Osayi-Samuel has informed Fenerbahce that would stay if they pay him \u20ac3 million per year.<\/p>\n

This would be a significant rise from his just over \u20ac2 million yearly pay. But the former Super Lig champions are unwilling to meet his demands.<\/p>\n

Besiktas are now looking to pounce. According to the report. They have opened talks with the Super Eagles star’s camp, but nothing concrete has emerged yet.<\/p>\n

Soccer Which club will Bright Osayi-Samuel join?<\/h2>\n

Bright Osayi-Samuel has been quite brilliant for Fenerbahce, featuring in 178 games. The Super Eagles star’s speed, attacking ingenuity and intense style has made him a key asset for the Yellow Canaries.<\/p>\n

But it seems Osayi-Samuel’s head is no longer in the Super Lig. Fenerbahce are the second best club in Turkey right now. And unless his head has been turned by a better club where he will get a significant pay rise and play with quality players, he would not be playing the waiting game with Fenerbahce.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, in the coming weeks, the Nigeria star is expected to make a decision on his next move.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
