A first approach has been made by a Premier League team, who made an official bid for the Super Eagles player.
Bright Osayi was instrumental in the Yellow and Blacks’ incredible journey in last season’s title campaign.
Top European clubs are reportedly interested in signing the 26-year-old defender, who has been linked away from Turkish team Fenerbahce.
Recent reports has suggested that a bid from a Premier League team has been made for the Super Eagles star.
Super Eagles Bright Osayi on the move
Bright Osayi, a star for Fenerbahce, is supposedly the target of Southampton, who have made a bid to sign him.
According to AS Marca, the Saints have made an approximate £6.5 million offer to the Turkish team for Osayi.
The Super Eagles star helped Fenerbahce with two assists, four goals, and 23 games played last season.
Southampton prepares for life back in the Premier League and manager Russell Martin is active in the transfer market.
However, West Ham United, Leeds United, and Crystal Palace are all serious contenders for his signature, putting Southampton in tough competition.
Mourinho will likely have the last word on whether or not to sell Osayi-Samuel, so they will have to wait and see if their bid is approved.
