Torunarigha is free of charge at Kaa Gent after his end of the contract and is reportedly received by 2028-so far the Bundesliga promoter himself did not provide any information at the exact term.
In addition to the HSV, the RSC Anderlecht, Olympique Marseille, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Mit promoter 1. FC Köln are also said to have signaled interest in Torunarigha. The defender chose the red pants because he was convinced by sports director Stefan Kuntz and sports director Claus Costa, it was said last.
Torunarigha and the Kaa Gent went separate paths after three and a half years. The defensive man had decided not to extend his expiring contract in Belgium. Since an agreement on a continuation of the collaboration could not be reached, Torunarigha was most recently excluded from training the first team and was not part of the squad on the last two match days.

A year ago, he had been ready for the next step in an interview with the transfer market: “I have another year of contract and no hurry. We will see what happens. I strive for the highest possible goals. This definitely plays in when I made it.” For Ghent, Torunarigha scored four goals and six templates in 145 games. Its market value last fell from 5 million to 4.5 million euros in December 2024.
