Durosinmi Reflects on Serie A Struggles Before KRC Genk Move

Rafiu Durosinmi, a 23-year-old forward, experienced a difficult six-month spell in Serie A with Pisa, where he was signed for €11 million from Czech champions Viktoria Plzeň on January 14, 2026. This transfer made him the most expensive signing in Pisa's history.

Durosinmi scored on his debut against Atalanta but struggled thereafter, managing only one goal and one assist in 12 league appearances. His challenges intensified after the coach who signed him was sacked, leading to a lack of rapport with the new manager.

Durosinmi was also sidelined for two weeks due to a red card incident involving Yerry Mina. Despite the setbacks, he expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play professionally.

On July 23, 2026, he completed a €10.5 million move to Belgian Pro League side KRC Genk on a four-year contract, concluding his time in Italy. He has earned three caps with the Super Eagles since his first call-up from head coach Éric Chelle.
