FC Midtjylland director Claus Steinlein is expecting Racing Genk to sell their top scorer Paul Onuachu in the summer transfer window.

Most European clubs have been dealt a huge financial blow in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and with that in mind Steinlein explained that the big clubs have to make new signings that could create a domino effect in the transfer market.

The current Danish champions are believed to be in the market for new midfielders when the window opens, with Frank Onyeka, Evander and Jens-Lys Cajuste attracting interest from other clubs.

"When the big clubs buy, it's like a domino game. Then the pieces are sent off. There we are just down on layers three or four," Steinlein explained to Tipsbladet.

"So it's about Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City. Do they shop on the top shelf?

"If Paul Onuachu is sold for 250-300 million (€34m - €40m), then Genk will have to buy a new player, and then they might buy one for 50 (€6.7m). So that is whether those dominoes will be launched."

Onuachu, Nigeria's top-scoring player in the European Leagues this season, was on the books of Midtjylland for seven years prior to joining Racing Genk.
