For some top Nigerian players, it's certain that they would be moving on from their current club this summer and as such, their valuation remains a bone of contention among competitors. Tolu Arokodare is a highly sought after forward, with that in mind, KRC Genk chairman Peter Croonen has revealed that his potential transfer will earn the club a lot of money, much-more than the sale of his fellow country man Paul Onuachu, Nigeriasoccernet.com writes.
The Limburger chief made this known via TVL Sportcafé where he appeared as a guest to discuss the club summer transfer plans and expectations for the new season.
"A sum like with Onuachu? Let me say that I don't want to say much about that, but we want much more," laughed Croonen. At Genk, a departure of the striker is inevitable. The club has to sell players. There is always pressure to sell, in every football club that wants to function autonomously," he says.
"With a European ticket there is more leeway, but of course we have our own reserves. That way we can decide for ourselves when to sell", Croonen concludes.
A top transfer abroad beckons for the Nigerian, Onachu left Genk for around eighteen million euros but more is expected to sanction Tolu's exit.
