TSG Hoffenheim have officially loaned Gift Orban to Turkey's Amed SK Diyarbakir, according to an agreement with a €1 million loan fee and an obligatory purchase option worth €4 million. According to the details of the transaction, the permanent transfer will be automatically activated if the newly promoted team from Turkey avoids relegation at the end of next season. For Hoffenheim, it is part of an ongoing recoup of investment after spending €9 million to sign the former Lyon forward. In the previous year, Orban was also loaned out to Hellas Verona in Serie A where a further €500,000 loan fee was injected into Hoffenheim's coffers. Verona did not activate the €8m option on the permanent takeover after the team fell into the relegation zone in Italy. On the player side, he got off to a fast start in the Bundesliga: four goals in his first six games for die Kraichgauer. Because of this, he was positioned as a regular in coach Christian Ilzer's starting eleven in the second half of the 2024/25 campaign. However, his production dried up by the last week of February—he did not score again after Matchday 23.

This context is important to the current move: from a top estimate of €10 million, Orban's estimated market value has dropped to €7 million based on Transfermarkt's latest records. For Amed SK Diyarbakir, the loan with an obligatory clause is a bold bet that could provide them with a potential main striker for the campaign in their first step into the higher level of competition in Turkey. For Hoffenheim, it provides a clear path to further income should Orban's new team succeed in keeping relegation safe. If Amed SK Diyarbakir can escape relegation, the €4 million move is expected to be permanent and will serve as the next chapter in the 24-year-old Nigerian's career. If not, the relationship will remain short-term and the player's rights will return to Germany, with Hoffenheim likely to review the next step—whether it be another loan or integration back into their frontline. For now, the transaction is clear: Hoffenheim will earn an immediate profit from the loan fee, the purchase is conditional for Amed SK Diyarbakir, and Orban will have a chance to rekindle his rhythm as a striker in an environment eager to prove his ability at the top level of the Turkish league.

What's next

Next season is expected to be critical for Orban as he plays for Amed SK Diyarbakir. If the team can avoid relegation, he will automatically become part of the club through an obligatory purchase option. His development in the Turkish league could lead to new opportunities in Bundesliga football in the future.
