Genk braced for Arokodare exit as Super Eagle striker's market value hits record high
Published: June 12, 2025
Racing Genk are bracing for a transformative summer transfer window, with Tolu Arokodare likely to depart.
The 24-year-old forward, who has been a cornerstone of Genk’s attack, is attracting significant interest from top European clubs, signaling a potential big-money move.
Arokodare’s stellar 2024–25 season has seen his market value surge to a career-high €18 million, up from €13 million, according to Transfermarkt.
The striker scored 23 goals and provided seven assists in 45 appearances, clinching the Jupiler Pro League’s top scorer title and the prestigious Ebony Shoe award for the best African player in Belgium.
His impressive form has attracted interest from clubs across England, Germany, Italy, and Portugal, with the likes of Benfica, Beşiktaş, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayern Munich reportedly among the suitors.
Genk's sporting director, Dimitri De Condé, has indicated a '99% chance' of Arokodare leaving, citing intense interest from intermediaries.
Club president Peter Croonen emphasized that any transfer fee must exceed the €18 million received for former striker Paul Onuachu, emphasizing Arokodare’s elevated value.
Despite Genk’s financial stability, secured by a record-breaking squad market value, the club is open to capitalizing on their star’s rising stock.
According to Voetbalkrant, the Limburgers’ squad valuation has soared, driven by Arokodare and young midfielder Konstantinos Karetsas, whose market value jumped from €13 million to €20 million.
While Arokodare’s potential exit poses challenges for manager Thorsten Fink, who relies on the striker’s physical presence and clinical finishing, Genk’s robust youth pipeline and strategic recruitment are poised to mitigate the loss.
