Pushed towards the exit by OL, Nigerian striker Gift Orban (22 years old) will join Hoffenheim for compensation of €9 million plus around €3 million in bonuses.
Recruited for €14 million on January 18, 2024, Gift Orban failed to win at Olympique Lyonnais. Alexandre Lacazette reigns supreme at the forefront of the attack and leaves only crumbs to his rivals. The Nigerian was forced to move away but he was clearly not comfortable. A departure is therefore necessary for both parties. For the player so that he regains significant playing time (only 259 minutes during the first part of the season). For the club to replenish its coffers. And indeed, a German club has expressed its interest.
Hoffenheim made an approach
According to Fabrizio Romano, Hoffenheim made a concrete approach to Olympique Lyonnais. The Italian journalist specified that the Gones have given the green light, but not yet the player. However, L'Equipe assures that the agreement between the clubs is for €12 million and that Orban headed to Germany this Wednesday to undergo his medical examination. German journalist Florian Plettenberg estimates that the compensation is €9 million plus bonuses.
