Super Eagles star linked with sensational move to Osimhen's Galatsaray after contract breakdown with Canaries
Galatasaray could snap up a prime talent from one of their biggest rivals in the summer transfer window.
Osayi Samuel's contract standoff
As Pulse Sports reported, Fenerbahce were keen on keeping him, even when he lost his place in the starting lineup following Jose Mourinho's shift to a back-three formation.
They have tabled multiple contract offers to the former QPR man since last summer, all of which he rebuffed, seeking improved terms.
Fenerbahce tried until the end but couldn't convince the Nigerian with an offer he was happy to accept. However, according to Ekrem Konur, he has accepted the terms of Besiktas, who had the best financial offer of all his suitors.
Besiktas shrug off competition
While his contract situation with Fenerbahçe remained unresolved, he received offers from multiple English sides, including Crystal Palace, Leeds United, Nottingham, and Southampton.
There were also rumours that Super Lig champions Galatasaray were interested. However, it would be another Istanbul club, Besiktas, who managed to complete the deal.
