Genk Transfer News: Kibisawala Battle with Malmö & Brest

The 2024-2025 season went with heights and lows for Genk. Under the leadership of Thorsten Fink, the team played a strong regular competition, but in the Champions Play-Offs the team fell far back and grabbed it alongside European Success. Sporting director Dimitri De Condé indicated earlier that no spectacular transfer summer is planned this summer. Nevertheless, Genk does look at targeted reinforcements – and Mpanzu Kibisawala fits perfectly in that profile.

With Daan Heymans, a creative doublure has already been achieved for the young Goudhaantje Konstantinos Karetsas, and also around Tolu Arokodare is waiting. The Nigerian striker is on the radar of foreign clubs and could still leave this summer.

Mpanzu on radar of several clubs
According to Swedish media, however, Genk is not only in the race for Mpanzu Kibisawala. Stade Brest (France), the Algerian JS Kabylie and especially Malmö FF (Sweden) are also interested. Malmö would even have an advantage in the negotiations.

The attacker – 1m65 large – can be used on both flanks and played nine games for Simba SC this season, in which he scored once and delivered two assists. Manzu is considered a technically skilled, explosive player with a low center of gravity, exactly the type of flank attacker that Genk likes to see grow.
