Nigerian defender, Bright Osayi-Samuel has dismissed reports linking him with a potential transfer to Galatasaray, Fenerbahce’s fierce Istanbul rival.
Osayi-Samuel, who has been at loggerheads with Fenerbahce management over contract terms, has attracted interest from Premier League clubs, fueling speculation about his future.
Recent reports suggested a possible move to Galatasaray, which already features Nigerian international Victor Osimhen.
However, Osayi-Samuel, 28, has firmly rejected these rumors, pledging his loyalty to Fenerbahce and stating he has no intention of joining any other Turkish team.
“I will never betray Fenerbahce. I will never play for another team in Turkey,” Osayi-Samuel declared.

The defender addressed speculation that he was demanding a significant salary increase as part of his contract renewal, calling the claims baseless.
“I don’t know where they come up with these figures. I have never asked for anything,” he told Fanatik.
Osayi-Samuel has less than a year left on his contract.
