K.R.C. Genk winger Yira Sor nearing Amedspor transfer
K.R.C. Genk's Yira Sor is closing in on a move to Turkish Super Lig newcomers Amedspor. The 26-year-old Nigerian winger is in advanced talks with the club, though neither Amedspor nor Genk has confirmed a deal as of yet.
What is the background of this transfer?
Sor, who earned his Nigeria debut in March, has been in negotiations with Amedspor for several weeks. The newly promoted Turkish club is looking to strengthen its attacking options. Sor could potentially team up with fellow Nigerian forward Gift Orban, who is already at Amedspor.
What does this mean for K.R.C. Genk?
Genk is reportedly willing to consider a sale, especially as Sor has been hampered by injuries since his €6.5 million transfer from Slavia Prague in January 2023. His value has dropped to €2.5 million, according to Transfermarkt, and he is entering the final year of his contract.
What are the next steps?
The negotiations between Amedspor and Genk are in an advanced stage, but no final agreement has been reached. If the transfer goes through, Sor could face a new challenge in the Turkish league.
