Comments made by Nigerian footballer Osimhen following the Samsunspor match had triggered rumors of a departure within the Galatasaray community. Osimhen had drawn attention with the words, 'Galatasaray will be in my heart forever.' These expressions were interpreted by some circles as a sign that he would be leaving the team.

Galatasaray Sportif AŞ Deputy Chairman İbrahim Hatipoğlu responded to these rumors, stating, 'Osimhen's words do not mean he will leave. He said that even in the worst-case scenario, if he were to leave, Galatasaray would always be in his heart, but he did not say he would leave. We want him to stay with us.' These statements by Hatipoğlu aim to, at least to some extent, resolve the uncertainties regarding Osimhen's future.
