Genk Eye Record-Breaking Transfer for Tolu Arokodare, Exceeding Onuachu’s €18M Move
Belgian side KRC Genk are hoping to cash in big on Tolu Arokodare, with club insiders expecting a transfer fee higher than the €18 million they received for Paul Onuachu.
Onuachu, another Nigerian striker who previously led the Genk attack, made the switch to Southampton three years ago. Now, the club believes Arokodare is poised to attract even more lucrative offers, thanks to his consistent performances and rising profile across Europe.
Arokodare Valued at €20 Million Amid Growing Interest
Reports suggest that Genk have placed a minimum €20 million valuation on Arokodare, currently one of the most talked-about forwards in the Jupiler Pro League. The Nigerian striker has been linked with top Bundesliga and Premier League clubs, fueling speculation about a potential big-money move this summer.
Genk Chairman Peter Croonen has already hinted at the club’s expectations, stating weeks ago that Arokodare could surpass Onuachu in both value and market appeal.
“We believe Tolu has the potential to bring in more money than Onuachu,” Croonen reportedly said.
Coach Fink Plays It Cool Amid Transfer Buzz
Despite the growing rumours, Genk coach Thorsten Fink remains calm. Speaking to TV Limburg, the German tactician addressed the speculation with a knowing smile.
“As long as nothing happens, it’s just rumours,” Fink said with a wink, showing confidence but offering no confirmation.
High Stakes for Genk and Arokodare
As Tolu Arokodare transfer news continues to dominate headlines, Genk find themselves in a strong negotiating position. With a proven track record of developing talent and selling high, the Belgian outfit is likely to hold out for top dollar as elite European clubs hover.
For now, Arokodare remains a Genk player but with interest mounting, his record-breaking move may be just around the corner.
