Recent remarks from Buruk seemingly minimising Osimhen's significance have drawn criticism and provoked negative reactions from football analysts and supporters.

"I'm tired of praising Osimhen every week! Osimhen's performance destroyed the perception of structure.

"Does anyone say structure? Osimhen destroyed that too. He said, 'There is no structure, I exist.'"

Engin identified Osimhen as Galatasaray's most significant recent acquisition. He also commended the fanbase for their contribution to securing Mario Lemina's arrival.
