De Conde leader of the Genk explains why we sold Onuachu to Southampton

Posted by

Paul Onuachu, a forward for Genk, has been sold, according to the club’s sporting director Dimitri De Conde.

In January of 2023, the Smurfs sold Onuachu to Southampton.

The 30-year-old’s exit infuriated Genk’s fan base, who questioned the club’s judgment to part with the charismatic forward.

The decision was made, according to De Conde, because the organization wanted what was best for the player.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a contract that would never be offered again; Paul, who was 28 years old, wanted to depart, according to Conde’s interview with RTBF.

His sobs were a plea for me to let him… and in such instances, we have moved on from discussing club interests and finances! We will never stand in the way of a contract because we put people first and respect athlete autonomy.

In 114 league appearances over four years with Genk, Onuachu scored 79 goals.
