Published on: 31 December 2024

Ligue 1 outfit, Olympic Lyon have turned down bids from RC Lens and TSG Hoffenheim for Nigerian striker Gift Orban, who is eager to leave the club after being excluded from the squad for disciplinary reasons, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Both Lens and Hoffenheim have submitted offers for the 22-year-old, but they have fallen short of Lyon's valuation.

The French club are demanding €12m for Orban, who joined them from Belgian Pro League side KAA Gent in January 2023.

Lens have offered €8m, while Hoffenheim have submitted a bid of €10m, but Lyon are holding out for their asking price.

Orban's desire to leave Lyon has sparked interest from several clubs, but the French side are determined to get the best possible deal for the Nigerian striker.
