Osayi-Samuel's decision to stay at Fenerbahce is a significant boost for the club, and fans will be delighted to see him continue to excel under Mourinho's guidance.
The extension offer is a testament to Mourinho's ability to persuade top talent to stay at the club, and Osayi-Samuel's commitment is a vote of confidence in the manager's vision for the team.
