In the top 3 record players
According to information from “Sky“Shortly before a contract extension at RB Leipzig. The central defender’s contract, which is valid until 2025, is to be extended ahead of time until at least 2027, reports the TV station. The talks are going well and the agreement is about to be finalized.
The 30-year-old Orbán, who is currently out due to a right knee injury, moved from his training club 1. FC Kaiserslautern to the “Red Bulls” in 2015 for 2 million euros. Since then, the Hungarian international has made 292 appearances, 27 goals and nine assists. Behind Yussuf Poulsen (367) and Emil Forsberg (311), Orbán is in the top three of his club’s record players. Unsurprisingly, the defensive professional is also one of the longest-serving in the Saxons’ squad.
“I don’t want to set any records, but if it suits both sides, it would be nice to end your career in Leipzig. It’s not for nothing that I had a connection option written into the contract so that I could possibly stay at the club,” said Orbán in an interview with “Kicker” at the beginning of May. He already has the confidence to “extend it again in the summer of 2025. Then I would be 32 ½ and already at an age where you are able to put one foot in front of the other.”
