RB Leipzig Extends Captain Willi Orban's Contract

RB Leipzig has announced the extension of captain Willi Orban's contract, keeping him with the Bundesliga club until 2027. Orban, a Hungarian national player, joined RB Leipzig from Kaiserslautern in 2015 and has since become a vital part of the team.

Orban has played 292 competitive games for RB Leipzig, making him one of the most experienced players in the squad. Only Yussuf Poulsen and Emil Forsberg have played more games for the club than Orban. His resilience and continuous pursuit of improvement have been commended by sporting director Rouven Schröder, who described him as a model professional and top athlete.

Schröder also expressed Orban's feelings of comfort and belonging in Leipzig, suggesting that the extension of his contract is a testament to his commitment to the club. However, the specific details of the contract extension were not provided in the announcement.

It's worth noting that Orban is currently out for weeks due to a knee injury. Despite this setback, the club's faith in him remains unwavering, as they look towards the future with Ole Werner at the helm. Werner, the new coach of RB Leipzig, took over the position in 2025 with a contract until 2027, and will be managing Orban during the latter stages of his extended contract.

Orban's cup win with RB Leipzig, a significant achievement in his time at the club, is a clear indication of his impact on the team. As the club continues to grow and evolve, Orban's extended contract serves as a symbol of the stability and continuity that he brings to the team.
