Gift Orban has activated a €3m transfer clause in his contract with Amedspor. He did this by scoring 10 goals while on loan from the German club Hoffenheim.
Orban hit the target in Amedspor's 4-3 loss to Galatasaray on Saturday. This goal took his tally in the Turkish Super Lig to 10 and made his permanent transfer mandatory.
He joined Amedspor from Hoffenheim on loan at the beginning of the season. The agreement stated that the Turkish club must sign him outright once he scored 10 goals in the league.
Amedspor president Nahit Eren had already mentioned that the club would pay €3m to keep the striker permanently. They will pay this fee in instalments over several years.
This purchase obligation is different from the loan fee they already paid Hoffenheim, which Eren said was €500,000.
The 24-year-old's success in Turkey has proven that Amedspor made the right choice by including the goal-based clause in the deal. His scoring ability has made him one of the top players for Amedspor.
His latest goal against Galatasaray also pushed him ahead of fellow Nigerian Victor Osimhen in the league’s scoring chart. This shows how much of an impact he has made since moving to Turkey.
This transfer marks another important step in Orban’s career. He has previously played for Stabaek, Gent, Lyon, Hoffenheim, and Hellas Verona.
After facing challenges in Germany, Orban has found a more supportive setting at Amedspor. His goals have now earned him a permanent spot at the club.
