Genk has signed the right-back Kevin Amaro from Liverpool Montevideo. The 21-year-old Uruguayan was one of the best players in his old club and will now continue his career in Belgium. Genk is currently 12th in the Jupiler Pro League, with 0 points from 1 game. They are 3 points behind the leaders Union St. Gilloise. Genk has therefore secured a player with international potential, while Liverpool Montevideo have completed a significant sale in the market. The transfer fee is approximately $3.5 million, in exchange for a percentage of the player's transfer rights. The left-back was considered one of the standout players at the Uruguayan club, with his performances also attracting interest from Argentine football. River Plate had previously been monitoring Amaro, but the 21-year-old will instead continue his career in Belgium.
