AA Gent is selling again: Gift Orban is heading to Lyon today and should earn Buffalo’s at least 13 million euros

After Malick Fofana, AA Gent also sells Gift Orban, we are confirmed. The 21-year-old Nigerian should earn at least 13 million euros, although the exact figures of the deal are still awaited.

Orban is expected in Lyon today and must become Fofana’s teammate there. Lyon, owned by RWDM boss John Textor, is fighting relegation and is longing for offensive reinforcement. For that reason it is also negotiating with Arnaut Danjuma, former Club Brugge player.

Last summer, Ghent asked for more than thirty million, to the dissatisfaction of Orban himself, who felt that he was being priced out of the market. Meanwhile, the hype died down and his gun became silent more and more often. This season he managed just 12 goals in 30 games, while last season he scored 20 in 22. Although he is now sold for a lot less, Ghent is still selling him at a considerable profit: Orban was bought from Stabaek for 3.3 million a year ago. The Norwegian club now still collects a percentage on resale.

With the sale of Fofana and Orban, Ghent is suddenly out of the red. At AA Gent they are planning to bring in a replacement – just as at least one defender is also expected in the coming days. With Tissoudali at the Africa Cup, only Hugo Cuypers and Laurent Depoitre remain in the striker position. (kwu)
