As OL's next transfer window begins to take shape, the possible transfer of Gift Orban at RC Lens takes on water. A new suitor shakes up the whole scenario.
OL Mercato: Stuttgart ahead of RC Lens for Gift Orban
Olympique Lyonnais is going through a delicate period. Financial difficulties are pushing the Rhone club to consider a massive downsizing during the next winter transfer window. Among the players likely to leave the ship, Gift Orban holds a special place.
Little used by Pierre Sage this season, the Nigerian striker seems to have lost his place in the OL squad. His lack of playing time naturally pushes him towards the exit, and there is no shortage of suitors. If RC Lens seemed to be holding the rope in recent days, it is ultimately Stuttgart who could take the win.
Sky Sports indicates that the German club have recently expressed a concrete interest in the 22-year-old striker. Valued at 15 million euros by Transfer marketGift Orban could bring a substantial sum to OL. It remains to be seen whether Stuttgart will be ready to pay the price to secure the services of a player lacking pace. And what will be the reaction of RC Lens?
This file should be followed closely. The departure of Gift Orban would mark a new turning point in the reconstruction of Olympique Lyonnais. For their part, Les Sangs et Or have not yet said about this possible signing, even if they find themselves threatened by a strong competitor.
