Rafiu Durosinmi to Genk: 2 key contract clauses that could decide Super Eagles star’s future

Published on by

Super Eagles striker Rafiu Durosinmi is edging closer to a record-breaking transfer to the Belgian Jupiler Pro League club Genk, Afrik-Foot reports.

The 23-year-old’s future has been uncertain throughout the summer. He is coming off a disappointing six-month stint at Pisa, which ended in the club’s relegation from Serie A. During that period, he was limited to just 12 appearances, contributing only one goal and one assist.

Following Pisa’s relegation to Serie B, it became clear that Durosinmi would likely move this summer. Although his time in Italy proved disappointing, his impressive form at his former club, Viktoria Plzen — where he recorded 35 goals and ten assists in 86 games — has ensured that his market value remains high.

While both Trabzonspor and Genk have expressed interest in the Nigerian, the Limburgers appear the most determined to finalize the deal quickly. As speculation continues, let’s examine two of the likely clauses in Durosinmi’s potential contract.

Understanding Clauses in Rafiu Durosinmi’s Potential Genk Deal

Genk are reportedly prepared to break their transfer record by paying as much as €11 million for the Super Eagles star. Should the deal proceed, it would be the highest transfer fee the former Belgian champions have ever paid. The final figure could rise even further due to potential add-ons.

Also, Pisa is looking to include a sell-on clause, which would entitle them to a percentage of any future transfer fee. Clubs typically include this provision for players they believe possess significant growth potential.

Although the exact percentage remains unconfirmed, Pisa stands to secure a substantial financial windfall should Durosinmi be sold in the future.

As of now, Durosinmi has not yet agreed to the move. However, if Genk can finalize an agreement with Pisa, persuading the player to join the project should prove straightforward.
