Done deal? Super Eagles star snubs England & France to seal move to Ole Solskjær’s Besiktas

Besiktas have pulled off a sensational swoop for a Super Eagles star who was reportedly destined to return to the English Premier League, Soccernet.ng reports.
Nigeria international defender Bright Osayi-Samuel has sealed a high-profile switch to Turkish giants Besiktas, according to Turkish outlet Sozcu.
Osayi-Samuel has agreed a lucrative €2.5 million-per-year deal with Besiktas after leaving Fenerbahce on a free transfer.
The 27-year-old Nigerian international is expected to undergo a medical in the coming days, with an official unveiling anticipated before the start of pre-season on 28 June.
Besiktas initially hoped to negotiate down Osayi-Samuel’s wage demands to €2 million per year, but ultimately met his full asking price to secure his signature.
The deal brings an end to speculation surrounding the versatile defender, who had attracted interest from several Ligue 1 and Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace.
However, Osayi-Samuel has opted to remain in Turkey, where he has spent the past five seasons and built a solid reputation in the Super Lig.

His arrival is seen as a major boost for Besiktas boss Ole Gunnar Solskjær, who is rebuilding the squad ahead of the 2025–26 campaign.
Capable of playing at right-back and right wing-back, Osayi-Samuel brings tactical flexibility, experience, and league familiarity to the Black Eagles.
The move also points to Besiktas’ ambition to challenge at the top once again after a disappointing campaign.
Solskjær, who was appointed Besiktas manager in mid-January, guided the club to a fourth-place finish, a staggering 33 points behind champions, Galatasaray.

That's is a question for the reporter. I guess it may be similar to reports that a player chose to play for Nigeria after rejecting England and Germany. Or just maybe the offers from England and France, in this case, was not up to snuff for him. I have no idea except that he rejected whatever the offers were.
My question is: are people surprised because England and Germany cannot be rejected???

I’m sure no one is surprised unless they have an agenda!

He might have personal reasons for not jumping at offers from the EPL.
He suffered some horrendous racial abuse not long before he left QPR.

He wanted Fulham in January and Fener rejected the deal. So, I dont think thats the issue.
