Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Racing Genk agree $6.1M for Tomoki Hayakawa
The clubs have shaken hands with Kashima Antlers; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.
Market17 Aug 2026
Racing Genk spend $6.2M to raise the standard
This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $6.2M has been paid because Aiham Ousou is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.
Player ratings17 Aug 2026
Junya Ito, 33, rolls back the years — 8.03
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.03 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Racing Genk rebuffed over Cheick Keita
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Charleroi have kept their man, and Racing Genk go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Market17 Aug 2026
Aluminij come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Racing Genk did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Racing Genk bid $1.2M for Olivier Dumont
The offer went to RWDM this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.
Market17 Aug 2026
Mohamed Koné is a Racing Genk player
The fee is $950.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Charleroi drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Racing Genk go back to the board over Olivier Dumont
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $1.2M — a club that wants Olivier Dumont enough to be asked twice.
Squad17 Aug 2026
A falling-out at Racing Genk
Bryan Heynen and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
In brief
- The terraces $6.2M for Aiham Ousou, and Racing Genk supporters approve
- Squad A row about effort at Racing Genk
- Match A bad afternoon for Racing Genk against RAAL La Louviere
