K.R.C. Genk sets new transfer record with Durosinmi
K.R.C. Genk has paid a club-record fee of €10.5 million for Super Eagles striker Rafiu Durosinmi from Pisa. The 23-year-old forward signed a four-year contract until June 2030. Durosinmi arrives from the Italian club and replaces the departed Tolu Arokodare. The team currently sits eighth in the Jupiler Pro League with 0 points.
Who is Rafiu Durosinmi?
Durosinmi started his career at Karviná and made a name for himself at Viktoria Plzeň. With the Czech club, he scored 35 goals and provided 10 assists in 86 appearances. His impressive performances attracted interest from clubs across Europe, but K.R.C. Genk won the race with a record transfer.
What does this mean for K.R.C. Genk?
With the arrival of Durosinmi, K.R.C. Genk hopes to have found a new attacking force. The club has already had 14 Nigerian players, including Paul Onuachu and Cyriel Dessers. The new striker is expected to help boost the team's goal-scoring, which is crucial for a side that has yet to score any goals this season.
What comes next?
Durosinmi will join his new teammates later this week. The club is investing heavily in the future and expects the striker to adapt quickly. With no goals scored or conceded so far this season, the pressure is on to deliver results soon.
