K.R.C. Genk is set to lose Yira Sor to Amedspor in the Turkish Süper Lig. The 26-year-old Nigerian forward has one year left on his contract with the Belgian club, but Genk is willing to sell him to avoid a free transfer next year. The transfer is not yet finalized, but negotiations are advanced.
What does this mean for K.R.C. Genk?
Yira Sor has played a significant role at K.R.C. Genk over the past few years, despite his injuries. With six goals and one assist in 39 matches during the 2025-26 season, he was a valuable player. His departure would leave a gap in the attack, especially as he brings speed and creativity.
