On the day of May 2, the news from Hupu came from the famous reporter Bob Faesen, who wrote the Genk column for the Belgian newspaper Latest News.
Mika Goetz, and Ismael Sebari, could they become top transfer targets, with Sporting Genk potentially able to earn up to €10 million from them soon.
At first, Mika Goetz was very popular. The 20-year-old offensive wing player is a high-profile star in Ajax this season. Especially after scoring a wonderful score in the game against NAC Breda, moving to the top league seems to be an inevitable trend. Especially given Manchester United's interest in him.
Reports by Dutch newspaper Königsberg indicate that clubs such as Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are all keeping an eye on his development. The wealthy clubs in Europe, such as Newcastle United, RB Leipzig, and Stuttgart, also covet him.
Several top clubs have been in contact with his agent, and many teams have sent their own scouts to watch the highlight battle between him and PSV Eindhoven this weekend.
Peter Krunin and Dimitri DeConde were happy to read these reports. Goetz turned to Ajax for a transfer in January 2023. This situation made the Genk club feel quite regretful. The Genk club had high hopes for the forward. During his time with the Genk youth team that season, his performance was outstanding and caused a sensation.
However, his debut at the Cechka Arena never came to fruition. Goetz's contract was about to expire and he saw little point in renewing it. Genk had no other choice but to sell him to Ajax in January.
Ajax paid one million euros back then, but what seems more interesting now is that Genk negotiated a 10% share of the second transfer.
It is unclear how much revenue Ajax expects to get from the transfer of Goetz. In the Netherlands, there are even rumors that the transfer fee is as high as 50 million to 60 million euros. However, this seems unrealistic. The market research company CIES values him at 58 million euros, while Transfermarkt values him at a much lower value of only 25 million euros.
Ajax fans are expected to believe that if Goetz makes a transfer, the final transfer fee will be in the range of 40 million to 45 million euros, which indicates that Genk may receive 4 million to 4.5 million euros in benefits.
