Gent reject first offer of $14 billion for Gift Orban
Posted : 31 May 2023
Belgian First Division A side KAA Gent has recently rejected an initial offer from Galatasaray, the newly crowned champions of the Süper Lig, for their talented forward Gift Orban.
The rejected proposal was swiftly dismissed by Gent, who anticipates a flurry of bids for Orban during the summer transfer window and has indicated that negotiations may not progress until August.
Orban, who joined Gent in January from Stabaek for a fee of slightly over three million euros, has swiftly made a name for himself as a prolific scorer.
In just 21 games, he has impressively found the back of the net 20 times and provided two assists.
As a result, his market value has skyrocketed to nearly ten times the amount Gent initially paid for him, as determined by the club.
Demonstrating their strong commitment to Orban's long-term development, KAA Gent has expressed their reluctance to hastily capitalize on the player's increasing value.
Therefore, the initial email from Galatasaray proposing a season-long loan with an option to purchase for fifteen million euros was promptly discarded, highlighting Gent's uncompromising stance.
According to reports, Galatasaray had hoped to secure Orban's services swiftly and outmaneuver other potential suitors.
However, Gent firmly rejected their proposition and declined to negotiate on those terms.
Gent has firmly set their sights on a minimum transfer fee of €30 million (equivalent to ₦14 billion) for the highly talented attacker, establishing a strong position for negotiations.
Prominent European clubs have already begun expressing their interest, indicating their willingness to invest substantial sums to secure Orban's services.
As the summer transfer window unfolds, the future of Gift Orban hangs in the balance.
However, KAA Gent remains resolute in their pursuit of a deal that reflects the immense value the player brings to the club.
