Rafiu Durosinmi joins Genk: Breakdown of transfer fee, salary, and key contract clause

Super Eagles striker Rafiu Durosinmi has completed his transfer to Belgian Jupiler Pro League club Genk, Afrik-Foot reports.

Durosinmi is coming off a disappointing campaign with Pisa. He joined the club in January with the target of helping them avoid relegation, but he could not do much to save them. He was limited to just 12 appearances and could only contribute one goal.

Nonetheless, his stock has not dropped much, as Durosinmi has attracted significant attention this summer.

Trabzonspor and Genk were the two main teams linked to the Super Eagles star, but this afternoon it was confirmed that the Limburgers had sealed the deal.

In this article, we dive into the intricacies of the transfer.

Record Transfer: How Much Genk Paid For Rafiu Durosinmi

Genk broke their transfer record for Rafiu Durosinmi, paying €10.5 million. This is the highest fee they have ever paid for a player, surpassing their previous record of €7.5 million.

The €10.5 million that Pisa received from the deal is also a record for the Italian club, beating the €8.5 million they made from selling Lorenzo Lucca to Udinese last year.

As a result, Durosinmi’s transfer has broken multiple records for the clubs involved.

The Key Transfer Clause in Durosinmi’s Contract

In addition to the €10.5 million fee that Genk paid for Durosinmi, a 10% sell-on clause was also inserted into his four-year contract.

This means that Pisa will receive 10% of whatever Genk make from the Super Eagles striker’s future sale.

This type of clause is usually included for players who clubs believe have a bright future. A player like Durosinmi has shown promise in the past, and there is a good chance he will shine at Genk and secure a bigger move in a few years.

What is Durosinmi’s Salary at Genk?

Rafiu Durosinmi’s exact yearly salary at Genk has not been confirmed yet, but he is expected to become one of the highest-paid players at the club.

According to FM transfer updates, he was earning around €17,000 per week at Pisa, so his current pay at Genk will likely be in that range or higher.

However, his official salary details should become public as time goes on.
