In late July 2026, Nigerian striker Rafiu Durosinmi completed a move from Italy's Pisa to Belgium's KRC Genk for a reported €10.5 million, including performance bonuses and a 10% sell-on clause. The transfer was described as Pisa’s most lucrative sale and Genk’s record signing, surpassing their previous record for Theo Bongonda. Genk confirmed a four-year deal running to 2030, with head of football Dimitri de Condé describing the 23-year-old as “a classic number 9, strong in the box and in combination.” Durosinmi, who previously scored 35 goals in 86 appearances for Viktoria Plzeň, joined Genk following a brief, injury-hit spell in Italy. On his competitive debut in August 2026, Durosinmi scored a header in the 39th minute against Zulte Waregem. Although he earned the Jupiler Man of the Match award, Genk ultimately lost the fixture 2-1. Following the match, Durosinmi stated his intention to compete for the league's top scorer title, noting that while scoring on his debut was a “long-held dream,” he would have preferred a team victory. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-09: Rafiu Durosinmi scores on Genk debut despite team loss Rafiu Durosinmi scored on his Racing Genk debut and won Man of the Match, but the club suffered a 2-1 loss to Zulte Waregem.
