Osayi-Samuel set for Premier League return as Fenerbahçe exit looms

Bright Osayi-Samuel is set to leave Fenerbahçe this summer after failing to agree on a new contract, with Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace battling to sign the Super Eagles defender.

The 27-year-old Nigerian full-back has been locked in negotiations with the Turkish giants over a contract extension, but talks have collapsed due to salary disputes. As a result, Osayi-Samuel is now preparing for a free transfer, with multiple clubs expressing strong interest.

Nottingham Forest have reportedly secured a pre-contract agreement with Osayi-Samuel, potentially bringing him in as a replacement for Ola Aina, who is attracting interest from Manchester City.

Osayi-Samuel’s potential move to Nottingham Forest could indicate a shift in the club’s defensive plans, but it remains unclear whether it will directly impact Aina’s future. The Super Eagles star has expressed a desire to stay at the City Ground, and Forest are reportedly considering a contract extension to fend off interest from bigger clubs.
