Osimhen's post-match comment was a hint that he could be heading for the exit when his season-long loan expires at the end of the season and explore other options for his future.
“There are always rumors about me, of course. But I prefer to live in the moment. I am enjoying myself right now. I am enjoying both the club and my life here,” he told galatasaray.org.
“The fans have also been incredibly supportive since the first day, all stakeholders within Galatasaray, everyone has helped me. They have always been there for me, not just me but also my friends and family.
“Now I will fight for the fifth star with my team, and a decision will be made at the end of the season about what will be best for everyone.”
“Galatasaray will forever be in my heart,” he concluded.
Galatasaray fans relish Osimhen’s final moments
The comments struck an emotional chord in Galatasaray fans’ hearts, and they have begun looking back at some of his best moments to remind them of him when he leaves.
Aside from his goals, which are leading them to the title, Osimhen has been praised for his work ethic and his fighting spirit.
As seen in a video shared by No Context Gala, he showed this yet again by running the length of the field to prevent a goal-scoring opportunity for Samsunpor after losing the ball in the other box.

“Just think, if 6 people in the team fought like him, wouldn't this team be the Champions League champion?”

“He may be one of the most characterful foreign players I have ever seen under the Galatasaray jersey. If we can easily beat the second and third teams in the league away from home within a week, it is thanks to Osimhen.”
His next destination is yet to be decided, with multiple clubs interested, including those from the Premier League, Serie A, and the Saudi Pro League.
