Turkish giants Fenerbahce have set an asking price of £4.3m (€5m) for Rangers-linked winger Bright Osayi-Samuel, according to reports coming out of the country.
The former QPR winger joined the Super Lig side in January with his contract running down at Loftus Road but his early career in Istanbul hasn’t quite gone to plan.
Reports coming out of Turkey have suggested Rangers – who were linked to Osayi-Samuel before the Fenerbahce move – want to take advantage of this at some point this summer.
Turkish journalist Yagiz Sabuncuoglu claimed Rangers were set to launch a bid but there have been other reports suggesting the two sides are sizeably apart with any deal.
Fotospor have also previously credited the Gers with an interest and claimed Osayi-Samuel wants a return to the UK with Fenerbahce looking for around £3m (€3.5m) for the player.
However, now Turkish daily Takvim via Inside Futbol is suggesting that Fenerbahce will only sell the player for £4.3m (€5m), ten times the amount they paid for the right-winger in January.
This would be a sizeable investment for Rangers and it is not clear if the club would sanction such a move.
Not that all is lost – there have been other reports claiming that Fenerbahce might consider a loan-to-buy offer.
Osayi-Samuel, 23, has also been tipped to be used as a makeweight in a deal which could see a leading African international cross a major Istanbul divide.
