Super Eagles forward, Rafiu Durosinmi, has sealed a club-record €10.5m (about N16.6bn) move to Belgian side KRC Genk from Pisa, becoming the most expensive signing in Genk’s history.
Announcing the transfer on its official website, the club said, “The wait is over. KRC Genk have secured their second signing of the summer with the arrival of Rafiu Durosinmi (23). The Nigerian centre-forward joins from Italian side Pisa SC and has signed a four-year contract at the Cegeka Arena.
“With the addition of Durosinmi, KRC Genk bring in a striker who perfectly matches the club’s sporting ambitions. A complete centre-forward who combines strength, physical presence and a proven eye for goal. Ready to make an immediate impact, he adds an extra dimension and presence to Genk’s attacking line.”
Durosinmi, 23, joins the Belgian outfit after helping Nigeria lift the 2026 Unity Cup in London in May. The striker found the net in the final as the Super Eagles defeated Jamaica 3-0 to clinch the title.
Genk have built a strong reputation for developing Nigerian strikers. Paul Onuachu established himself as one of the Belgian Pro League’s most prolific goalscorers during his time at the club before securing a move to the Premier League.
More recently, Tolu Arokodare enjoyed a career resurgence at Genk, winning the Belgian Pro League Golden Boot before completing a transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
