The Nigerian striker is currently on loan at Hellas Verona from Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim, with expectations that he will return to Germany at the end of the season.

Verona reportedly opted against making his move permanent, despite the forward registering seven goals in 28 league appearances during his time in Italy.

Orban’s recent spell has also been affected by disciplinary issues, as he has not featured in Verona’s last four matches following an altercation with a fan after their defeat to AC Milan.

Despite the setback, Bologna are believed to view the 23-year-old as an affordable attacking option, with his valuation estimated between €8 million and €10 million.

His prior experience in Serie A is seen as an added advantage, making him an attractive target for the Italian club as they plan for squad reinforcement.
