Confirmation from Ecuador indicates that the transfer of Yaimar Medina to KRC Genk will soon be completed. Genk is set to pay 5 million euros for the 20-year-old left-back.

KRC Genk is about to sign Yaimar Medina, an Ecuadorian left-back. Local media reports that he will cost the club around 5 million euros plus a resale percentage. Genk managed to outpace interest from other clubs including Fenerbahçe, FC Porto, and Bayer Leverkusen. Medina will compete with Joris Kayembe for the left-back position. This signing is considered a top priority for Genk's management.

KRC Genk is actively on the lookout for a left-back and has expressed interest in Yaimar Medina, a 20-year-old Ecuadorian player currently with Independiente. Medina has performed impressively this season, having scored 5 goals and made 3 assists in 32 matches, which has led to an increase in his market value from 600,000 euros to 2 million euros. Genk made an attempt to sign him last summer, and he continues to be on their shortlist. Nevertheless, his transfer is anticipated to be costly, with players of similar profiles being valued at approximately 4 to 5 million euros.
