Gift Orban Transfer from Olympique Lyonnais to Lens
Nigerian striker Gift Orban was also courted by Lens, who made an offer earlier this week. However, the offer was far from meeting Lyon's demands, leading Hoffenheim to succeed with a third proposal.
RC Lens has made an offer for Gift Orban, a Nigerian striker from Olympique Lyon. The offer is reported to be eight million euros, but Olympique Lyon rejected it and is demanding twelve million euros. If Lens does not increase their offer, the chances for TSG Hoffenheim to secure the deal are very good.
RC Lens has made an offer for Gift Orban, who is currently not in the plans of Olympique Lyonnais and has not played in Ligue 1 for three months. Olympique Lyonnais is looking to sell players to avoid sanctions from the DNCG and sees the interest from Lens as an opportunity to gain funds. However, the first offer from RC Lens was below Olympique Lyonnais' expectations, as they will not sell Orban for less than 12 million euros excluding bonuses.
RC Lens has made a first offer for Gift Orban, but it is "quite far" from Olympique Lyonnais' demands. Olympique Lyonnais is asking for 12 million euros for the player.
Gift Orban was linked to RC Lens, but the club is not interested in signing him. Lens' trainer, Will Still, does not want an additional striker unless an extraordinary opportunity arises. He prefers to rely on young talents Rayan Fofana and Kembo Diliwidi.
