KRC Genk is finalizing a record-breaking transfer for Nigerian forward Durosinmi after the player completed his medical examinations, according to reports from HLN and VoetbalPrimeur.be. The move marks the most expensive signing in the Belgian club’s history, though the exact financial terms have not been officially disclosed by the club.
Durosinmi Completes Medical Tests for Genk Record Deal
KRC Genk has moved into the final stages of securing a new striker, with Nigerian international Durosinmi having already undergone the required medical screenings. Multiple Belgian outlets, including VoetbalNieuws.be and VoetbalBelgie, confirm that the deal represents a new transfer record for the club.
While the “record” status of the transfer is widely reported, the club has not yet released the specific fee.
Genk Transfer Activity and Dortmund Negotiations
The pursuit of Durosinmi is the primary focus of Genk’s current window, but other roster movements remain unresolved. According to Nieuwsblad, the club has not yet reached an agreement with Borussia Dortmund regarding the player Karetsas.
The lack of a deal for Karetsas stands in contrast to the accelerated timeline for Durosinmi, whose medical clearance suggests a formal announcement is imminent.
