An option on Joris Kayembe was exercised, but the intention is for the 31-year-old DR Congo international to leave Genk, which he joined in July 2023. He has 24 caps for Congo, and if he has a good World Cup with the team, he may secure an attractive transfer. The experienced left-back's contract runs until June 30, 2027, and he has a current valuation of €2.50m, according to Transfermarkt. Samsunspor has recently been linked with the player.
