Crystal Palace and Bright Osayi-Samuel are in contact over a possible summer move, with the South London club offering him a four-year contract.
According to a report by Africa Foot, Bright Osayi-Samuel is the subject of interest from Crystal Palace. The Eagles are scouring the market for a right-back heading into the summer transfer window, with the Fenerbahce wide player emerging as a target. They have already offered the 27-year-old a four-year contract to seal a Bosman move.
Bright Osayi-Samuel and his career so far
Bright Osayi-Samuel has enjoyed a solid stint with Fenerbahce since joining the Turkish club from Queens Park Rangers in January 2021. The African wide player has come leaps and bounds in the last four years, establishing himself as a regular for the Yellow Canaries.
The 27-year-old has turned out over 150 times thus far for Fenerbahce while chipping in with seven goals and 14 assists. However, Osayi-Samuel faces an uncertain future at the Turkish club after entering the final few months of his contract. The talks between the two parties over a new deal have not progressed well, and he will likely depart as a free agent in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian international has no shortage of suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window. Premier League clubs, in particular, have been keen on signing the Fenerbahce wide player in the last few months, with Crystal Palace leading the race to secure his services.
London return on the horizon?
Crystal Palace’s interest in Bright Osayi-Samuel is understandable. The Eagles are in a spot of bother over Daniel Munoz’s long-term future amid his links with several European bigwigs, including Barcelona. While Crystal Palace will aim to block the Colombian international’s exit, they should keep their options open.
So, Osayi-Samuel has emerged as a viable target for Crystal Palace, with the South London club already in contact with the Nigerian international. The Eagles have offered the Fenerbahce wide player a four-year contract that will last until June 30, 2029.
With Osayi-Samuel’s contract talks with Fenerbahce not progressing, a return to England might be on the cards. It will be interesting to see if the 27-year-old joins Crystal Palace in the summer transfer window.
