Fenerbahce and Nigeria defender Bright Osayi-Samuel has celebrated his 100th appearance for the Turkish club with a message of pride and loyalty.
Osayi-Samuel, whose contract with the Yellow Canaries is set to expire at the end of the season, has sparked speculation that he may remain with the team despite ongoing transfer rumours.
The versatile Nigerian player, linked with a potential move away from Fenerbahce, took to social media to share his emotions following the milestone match. In his message to the fans, he expressed deep appreciation for their support and reaffirmed his commitment to giving his all for the club.
“I am honoured and proud to play my 100th match in your presence on this important day,” Osayi-Samuel posted. “I am always ready to give my everything to be worthy of you! The biggest Fenerbahçe.”
Reports suggest that former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is advocating for a new contract to secure Osayi-Samuel’s future at Ülker Stadium.
However, his relationship with his girlfriend, a bank manager in England, is reportedly a key factor influencing his decision on whether to extend his stay with the club.
Osayi-Samuel’s recent statement has further fueled speculation about his future. His words, however, may hint at a desire to continue his journey with Fenerbahce, as he emphasized his dedication to the team and its supporters.
The 25-year-old, who joined Fenerbahce from Queens Park Rangers in 2021, has become an integral part of the squad, known for his energy, versatility, and consistent performances. His 100th appearance spotlights his growing influence and value to the team.
