Reports emerged this week that Atletico Madrid had a bid in the region of €120 million rejected by Galatasaray, highlighting the Turkish champions' determination to hold onto their prized asset.

Buruk, speaking publicly on the matter for the first time, was resolute in his stance.

"No such issue has come to us," the Galatasaray boss said via Forza Cimbom.

"There is nothing at the moment. Hopefully, he will continue his path at Galatasaray."

Osimhen has been instrumental to Galatasaray's recent dominance, firing them to back-to-back Turkish Super Lig titles and establishing himself as one of the most feared strikers in Europe in the process.

His performances have inevitably attracted attention from the continent's elite, but for now, Buruk insists the Nigerian is going nowhere.

Whether that stance holds as the summer progresses remains to be seen.
