Rafik Belghali leaving Mechelen?
KRC Genk is actively pursuing Rafik Belghali, whose contract with KV Mechelen expires next summer.
Genk is planning to make an official bid for Rafik Belghali, a right-back from KV Mechelen. KV Mechelen hopes for 2.5 million euros, but Genk is hesitant since Belghali has only one year left on his contract. Negotiations are expected.
KRC Genk has a genuine interest in Rafik Belghali and is closely monitoring his profile as an option if Zakaria El Ouahdi leaves. They consider spending part of the profit from El Ouahdi's transfer on acquiring Belghali.
Rafik Belghali is an option at KRC Genk and other Belgian top clubs if there are departures on the right side. He has only one year left on his contract and a market value of 2.5 million euros. It would be best to monetize him now.
KRC Genk has shown interest in Rafik Belghali as a potential successor for Zakaria El Ouahdi. The transfer depends on the departure of El Ouahdi. If El Ouahdi stays, the likelihood of Genk pursuing Belghali decreases. However, there are other clubs showing strong interest in Belghali as well.
Rafik Belghali is considering extending his contract with KV Mechelen, where he feels good and is under contract for another year. He is evaluating all options, including a contract extension.
Rafik Belghali is high on Genk's wishlist. He is currently in his second season at KV Mechelen and has attracted interest due to his performance after recovering from a knee injury. Genk faces competition from Toulouse, Hellas Verona, and Augsburg.
FC Toulouse is reportedly interested in Rafik Belghali. His contract with KV Mechelen runs until 2026, but since he hasn't extended it, Mechelen might be open to selling him this summer to get a transfer fee. Currently, Transfermarkt estimates his market value at 1.20 million euros.
