According to HLN Sport, KRC Genk is looking to part ways with two of its key players: Zakaria El Ouahdi and Tolu Arokodare. This decision is driven by the strong performances of the two African footballers, who have attracted interest from several European clubs.

Zakaria El Ouahdi, 23, has featured in 35 league matches this season, netting 4 goals and providing 2 assists. The Moroccan has established himself as a regular starter in Genk’s line-up, naturally drawing attention from outside Belgium. On the other hand, Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare, 24, has dazzled with 22 goals and 7 assists in 43 appearances across all competitions. His power and clinical finishing make him a prime target for clubs seeking a prolific goal scorer.

With interest in their stars mounting, Genk aims to capitalize on their market value. The club plans to use the funds generated to strengthen the squad, particularly by recruiting young talents capable of stepping up.
