It turns out Osayi-Samuel isn't signing a new contract because of his girlfriend! Here is the striking claim...

Fenerbahçe has yet to renew the contract of Bright Osayi-Samuel, who is among the players with the highest sense of belonging to the team and has become a fan favorite.

The fact that contract negotiations have dragged on for so long is causing concern among the fans. 

A striking claim has been made regarding the reason behind the delay in signing the Nigerian footballer, whose performance has also pleased Jose Mourinho. 

It had previously been claimed that Osayi-Samuel was demanding a salary of 2.5 million euros.

According to a report in Sabah, it is alleged that the reason Bright Osayi-Samuel has not yet renewed his contract with Fenerbahçe is his girlfriend. 

It was stated that Osayi-Samuel's girlfriend is a senior executive at a bank in London, the capital of England.

It is claimed that the 26-year-old footballer is waiting for an offer from England to be closer to his girlfriend.

It was learned that Osayi told the management, "I have a beautiful relationship and I don't want to lose it. If an offer comes from the Premier League, I will go; otherwise, Fenerbahçe is the place where I will play anyway. I love this jersey, the fans, and Istanbul; I just want time and understanding."

For this reason, the Fenerbahçe management has begun to wait regarding contract negotiations.

Osayi-Samuel has played a total of 148 matches in his Fenerbahçe career.

The Nigerian footballer has contributed 7 goals and 14 assists in these matches.
