Genk is close to signing Right-Back Kevin Amaro from FC Liverpool Montevideo. The 22-year-old Uruguayan's name had not previously been linked with the club. The transfer is reportedly an anticipatory signing for the potential departure of Zakaria El Ouahdi. The deal for Amaro would involve a fee of around 3.5 million including bonuses. Amaro is a three-time international. The player is under contract with his current club until mid-2028 and is scheduled to undergo his medical tests early next week. Amaro joined Liverpool Montevideo in February 2024 and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €2.50m.
