Belgian club Genk have given more insights to the new contract Paul Onuachu has signed.
Onuachu, 27, has extended his contract at Genk till June 2024.
Genk CEO Erik Gerits told HBvL the contract extension meant the striker gets a new salary and it will protect the Belgian club from Onuachu will not become a free agent after this season.
“We wanted to appreciate Paul for what he means to KRC Genk,” said Gerits.
“When such an important contract breaks open, a new salary is part of it.
“On the other hand, the mutual bond is also strengthened, we are stronger in our position because the player will not enter his last contract year after this season.”
“We communicate very openly with each other, Paul also knows that we will never stop him if he can realise his dream transfer. But then on the conditions that are right for him and for us,” he further explained.
“Until it comes to that, Paul will be at his best for us. You can see that already.
“He is a phenomenon, as our technical director and coach already said. In Belgium and in Europe, not only in terms of the numbers, but also in his relationships.”
