Belgian Jupiler League outfit, KAA Gent is evaluating the future of winger Gift Orban, expressing optimism about his continued presence at the club while also exploring potential replacements in the upcoming transfer window.

Orban, 23, has four years left on his current contract, playing down the likelihood of an exit during the winter transfer.

The Nigerian, who garnered attention across Europe last season, has recently struggled to secure a spot in the starting lineup, failing to find the net in his last six appearances across all competitions.

Initially priced at 30 million euros, KAA Gent have adjusted Orban’s potential transfer value to around €10m, reflecting a lack of concrete interest from other clubs.

Laurent Depoitre’s availability for selection, means the Buffaloes are actively seeking a successor for the forward, anticipating a potential departure this winter, as reported by Het Nieuwsblad.

With Tarik Tissoudali departing for the Africa Cup, January presents an opportunity for Orban to reclaim his position and attract renewed attention.

KAA Gent remains vigilant in its pursuit of options to fortify the squad, ensuring preparedness for any developments in Orban’s situation.
