Osayi-Samuel, currently a first-team star at the Jose Mourinho-managed club could be set for new pastures based on the advice of his colleague.
Osayi-Samuel’s Fenerbahce contract running out
With less than six months until Osayi-Samuel’s current deal at Fenerbahce expires, the Super Eagles star is yet to agree a deal with the Yellow Canaries, opening the door to a new challenge for the full-back.
Since joining in 2021, Osayi-Samuel has been a mainstay in the Fenerbahce side, making 157 appearances across all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing 14 assists in that time.
The Super Eagles regular has also been a key player under new boss Jose Mourinho, clocking 1,243 minutes this season despite suffering an injury that kept him out for more than a month.

Despite his importance to the team, Osayi-Samuel and Fenerbahce are yet to agree terms to extend his current contract and the Nigerian star can start speaking to suitors in January ahead of a possible free transfer in the summer.
Osimhen nudges Osayi-Samuel towards Galatasaray
One of Osayi-Samuel’s potential suitors are Fenerbahce’s arch-rivals Galatasaray, who are reportedly long-term admirers of the Nigerian full-back.

While no official talks have begun between the clubs or between Galatasaray and Osayi-Samuel, reports in Turkey suggest that the Lions’ loan-star, Osimhen, could have put in a word to convince his national team colleague to make the switch.
Osimhen, himself on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli and considering a permanent move is reportedly enamoured with fans of the reigning Turkish Super Lig champions and has recommended that Osayi-Samuel ditches his current side to potentially team up with him.

A move from Fenerbahce to Galatasaray would certainly make Osayi-Samuel unpopular with the Canaries’ fans, but could also serve as a major career advancement with an opportunity to play for the biggest club in the land.
