Genk and manager Jess Thorup are pursuing Bosnian-Herzegovinian national team player Benjamin Tahirovic, who also holds Swedish nationality. According to Sacha Tavolieri, a deal is considered to be close. The midfielder was not at Brøndby's training on Thursday, as reported by TV 2 Sport, and is believed to be in Belgium to finalize the last details of the transfer. Brøndby IF has long made it clear that the 23-year-old former Ajax player, who has two years remaining on his contract, is not in their future plans and he has not featured in the team's first matches of the season. Tahirovic has 32 caps and 2 goals for Bosnia-Herzegovina and a current market value of €4.50m, according to Transfermarkt. Several clubs, including Celtic and Rangers, have also been linked with the player.
