Turkish Super Lig outfit Fenerbahce is reportedly considering a move for Barcelona's Ansu Fati in a deal that could see Nigerian international Bright Osayi-Samuel move in the opposite direction.

According to reports, Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho is keen on bringing the 22-year-old Barcelona forward to the Turkish Super Lig despite his poor injury record.

The Catalans are also looking to capitalize on the opportunity to strengthen their backline by bringing in Osayi-Samuel to help in the right-back position.

The Super Eagles star can be deployed as a backup option to Frenchman Jules Koundé, who has been converted from his center-back role.

Osayi-Samuel's current deal with Fenerbahce expires at the end of the season, having joined the club from Queens Park Rangers in January 2021.

Earlier reports indicated that Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, and Everton, have all reportedly expressed interest in him.
