Galatasaray Plans to Sign Gift Orban to Replace Injured Icardi
Galatasaray, the reigning champions of Turkey’s Super Lig, are reportedly eyeing Lyon forward Gift Orban as a potential replacement for injured striker Mauro Icardi, according to Fanatik.
Icardi, who joined Galatasaray from Paris Saint-Germain, has been a key figure for the team this season.
However, his campaign has been cut short after suffering a serious ACL injury just before the international break, ruling him out for the rest of the season.
With Icardi’s absence creating a gap in their attacking lineup, Galatasaray is actively pursuing a new forward to strengthen their squad.
Gift Orban, the 22-year-old Nigerian forward, has emerged as a top target for the Turkish club.
Orban, who made a move to Lyon from Belgian side KAA Gent in January, has been impressing since his arrival in France.
Although his time at Lyon has been brief, Orban has already shown his goal-scoring prowess, netting two goals in just five appearances for the club.
His performance has caught the attention of Galatasaray’s management, who see him as a potential long-term solution to fill Icardi’s shoes.
Galatasaray’s interest in Orban highlights the club’s ambition to maintain their competitive edge both domestically and in European competitions.
The Turkish giants are looking for a striker with the ability to make an immediate impact, and Orban fits the bill with his strong physicality, speed, and finishing ability.
