Lyon centre-forward Gift Orban (22) has officially signed for Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim in a €12m deal, both clubs have announced.
The Nigeria international has spent less than a year in Ligue 1 after signing for Les Gones from Gant in January 2024. Orban played 21 times for Lyon, scoring five times. But Lyon's No. 9 was deemed surplus to requirements at Pierre Sage's Lyon with the transfer of George Mikautadze in the summer. According to OL, Orban's transfer fee rises to €9m with a further €3m in performance-related add-ons.
It's no secret that Lyon have to sell players this January. Les Gones were handed a provisional Ligue 2 relegation by the DNCG in November and, to avoid that, they've got to sell players before the end of the Ligue 1 campaign. Orban is the third OL player to leave this week, following the moves of Anthony Lopes (34) to Nantes and Jeffinho (25) to Botafogo.
The 22-year-old has signed a long-term contract with TSG Hoffenheim and will wear the No. 14 jersey for the Bundesliga side.The previous owner of the No. 14 jersey was Maximilian Bayer, who currently plays for Dortmund. He made a name for himself last season and moved to Dortmund for €28.5 million.
