Belgian Pro League side KRC Genk have reportedly finalized an agreement to sign Nigerian striker Rafiu Durosinmi from Italian club Pisa in a transfer that is expected to become one of the most notable deals involving a Super Eagles player this summer.

According to transfer reports, the agreement is valued at €10.5 million, with additional performance-related bonuses included in the package.

Pisa have also secured a 10 percent sell-on clause, ensuring they will benefit financially should the striker move to another club in the future.

The transfer is particularly significant for Pisa, as it is set to become the most expensive player sale in the club’s history.

The deal surpasses the previous record established when Lorenzo Lucca completed his move away from the Italian side, highlighting Durosinmi’s growing reputation in European football.

The 23-year-old only joined Pisa earlier this year after leaving Czech club Viktoria Plzen during the winter transfer window.

Although his stay in Italy was brief, he managed to make an impression with his performances, earning interest from clubs across Europe.

During his time with Pisa, Durosinmi featured in 12 league matches, scoring once and providing an assist. While those numbers may appear modest, his physical presence, attacking movement and overall potential convinced Genk to invest in the Nigerian forward.

A move to Belgium offers Durosinmi another opportunity to continue his development in a league renowned for nurturing young talent before they progress to Europe’s biggest competitions.

Genk, in particular, have built a strong reputation for developing players who later move to elite clubs across the continent.

For the Super Eagles striker, the transfer represents an important step in his career as he looks to establish himself as a consistent performer at club level while strengthening his chances of becoming a regular feature in Nigeria’s national team.

Fans will now be eager to see how quickly he adapts to Belgian football and whether he can justify Genk’s significant investment.
