Gift Orban, who drew attention with his performance at Amedspor, triggered the critical clause in his contract with the goal he scored against Galatasaray. The Nigerian star, who reached 10 goals in 11 matches in the Süper Lig, had his €3 million purchase option activated. Thus, Orban became one of the footballers transferred for the highest transfer fee in Amedspor's history.
Gift Orban, whom Amedspor signed on loan from Bundesliga side Hoffenheim with an option to buy at the start of the season, continues his impressive performance in the Süper Lig. The Nigerian striker also found the net against Galatasaray, raising his league goal tally to double digits. This achievement by the star player triggered the purchase clause in his contract.
THE GOAL HE SCORED AGAINST GALATASARAY CHANGED EVERYTHING
Gift Orban, who scored his team's goal in the match in which Amedspor visited Galatasaray, reached 10 goals in 11 league appearances. The 24-year-old footballer, who has been one of the most effective names in his team's attacking line since the start of the season, also activated the conditional purchase option in his contract with this goal. The Nigerian center-forward's goalscoring performance brought about an important development in Amedspor's transfer planning.
THE 3 MILLION EURO OPTION CAME INTO EFFECT
The 3 million euro purchase option in the contract of Gift Orban, who was loaned from Hoffenheim, came into effect when the goal condition was met. It was thus stated that Amedspor acquired the Nigerian footballer's registration rights for the same amount. Orban's transfer fee went down in the records as one of the highest transfer fees in the club's history.
HE EQUALED THE CLUB RECORD
At the start of the season, Amedspor had added Yira Sor, who wore the Genk shirt, to its squad for 3 million euro. With the same transfer fee coming into effect for Gift Orban as well, the Nigerian striker equaled Yira Sor's transfer record in the club's history. Amedspor thus reached a transfer fee of 3 million euro each for two footballers in the same season.
81 GOALS AND 17 ASSISTS IN 154 MATCHES
Gift Orban began his football career in Nigeria and later transferred to Norwegian side Stabaek. Then, the striker, who wore the shirts of Gent, Lyon, and Hoffenheim, produced a performance of 81 goals and 17 assists in 154 matches in his career. The 24-year-old center-forward also draws attention with the goalscoring average he has achieved this season in the Amedspor shirt.
