Published on: 05 November 2024

Amid a season of high ambitions for Fenerbahce, manager Jose Mourinho is prioritizing contract talks for Nigerian star Bright Osayi-Samuel, whose performances have become essential to the team’s success, writes Nigeriasoccernet.com.

Osayi-Samuel has been a pivotal player in Fenerbahce’s squad, and with his current deal set to expire at the end of the season, Mourinho is pushing for terms that reflect the player's value and impact on the team.

The versatile player, who has also shown strength in defensive roles, is reportedly seeking a salary increase as part of the contract extension talks. Osayi-Samuel has consistently impressed both fans and the coaching staff with his performances, particularly in high-stakes matches that have highlighted his agility, skill, and adaptability across various positions on the field.

Securing his signature for a renewed term is a priority for Mourinho, who sees Osayi-Samuel as a key component in Fenerbahce’s push for both domestic and European success. The club is expected to enter negotiations soon, with Mourinho hopeful that an agreement will be reached that satisfies both the player’s financial expectations and the club’s long-term objectives.

Osayi-Samuel’s growing reputation in European football has also attracted attention from other clubs, making it crucial for Fenerbahce to act swiftly to avoid losing one of their standout players at the end of the season.
