Thomas Claes, a youth product of KRC Genk, has left the club to join Zulte Waregem. His transfer marks one of the few movements in what has been a relatively quiet summer transfer window for Genk, with Claes being the only player departing the club to join Zulte Waregem. The club has seen minimal activity this season, focusing primarily on internal transformations within its youth and reserve teams, while Claes' departure stands out as a significant move.
