Genk make transfer statement: ‘He won’t leave for change’

KRC Genk were able to confirm their impressive win over Club Brugge in a fitting manner. Limburgers also took full advantage on Saturday after a stunning game at the Beerschot: 3-4. While Thorsten Fink’s selection is still being played out.

The Limburgers have already shown great purchasing power this summer. Five direct acquisitions have already been made. Matti Smits and Adrian Palacios have provided additional options in defence, and Nicolas Sattelberger has strengthened the midfield. With Jarni Stoekers and Hyun-Gyu Oh, new coach Thorsten Fink has also gained two additional strikers.

An extra winger could be added on the left, but on the next side, the Limburgers seem to have largely done their homework. Although that could still change. For example, it is necessary to expect players to leave. And there are several candidates for that.

Tolu flirts with Trabzon

Mike Penders’ move to Chelsea is said to be complete, although he will be immediately loaned to Genk. Majid Sadiq is also not ruling out a move, while Bilal El Khannous wants to make a move, Zakaria El Wahidi is flirting with Benfica and Matías Galarza is doing everything he can to force him back to Argentina.

In addition, Tolu Arokodare has also been linked with a move. In recent days, the tall striker has been explicitly linked with a move to Trabzonspor. But his salary is said to be much higher than what the Turks are offering him, and moreover, Genk no longer seems inclined to get rid of the current scorer.

Grand Prize Wanted

Fink was clear after the game in Beerschot: Tolu will only leave if a high offer is made. “Trabzonspor can’t afford him,” the coach insisted. “We won’t get rid of our best striker for small money.” Importance of Limburg“Oh, I have experience in this kind of football stuff and I know how things work, but I have full confidence in our board and in Dimitri De Conde. They decide who comes and goes and they do it excellently.”
