Then, in the summer of that year, the Bavarians tried to sign Estêvão Willian from Palmeiras in the Brazilian league before Chelsea FC completed the signing Bayern may be looking to KRC Genk in the Jupiler Pro League in Belgium to reinforce their striker position Bayern have already shown interest in some young Genk players, but the potential reinforcement in question now would be a back up striker, as reported by Dominik Schneider (and captured by @iMiaSanMia): Bayern are monitoring Genk’s Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare (24) as a potential backup for Harry Kane Dortmund and Stuttgart also made enquiries A potential move to Bayern would not be Arokodare’s first stint in Germany given he went on loan to FC Köln for the 2020/21 season Arokodare spent most of his career in France or Latvia before moving to Genk and then blossoming Would this be exactly the kind of creative transfer Bayern need to make in line with the club’s cost cutting measures Or would it be a far-fetched move that simply has no chance of working out Probably somewhere in the middle of those two extremes Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

The result allowed Club Brugge to move top of the standings with a two-point advantage to set up a close three-way contest for the title with four rounds of matches left. The 22-year-old Chambaere, who joined from Genk at the start of the season, is expected to be handed a four-match ban while Fadili could get a two-match ban for "misleading the referees by sacrificing himself," Belgian media reported.

A work of the Antwerp firm led by Kurt Van Belle and Patricia Medina Prieto, the concrete construction features veterinary facilities, a workshop space, and a café. The sculptural building is composed of four identical arches chained together – two open and two closed – which hold up a cantilevered roof that serves as a viewing terrace.

Sorry, there arent any match using your search terms, please try again using other terms. The 2023-24 Belgian Pro League is certainly one that Mark McKenzie and Genk will want to forget, but luckily for McKenzie, he has a new opportunity with the U.S. men’s national team to focus on. McKenzie is with the USMNT ahead of the 2024 Copa America group stage, which begins for the Americans on Sunday night. The former Philadelphia Union homegrown defender is one of five centerbacks in Gregg Berhalter’s squad, aiming to feature in the competition for his first cap of 2024. After not featuring against Colombia and Brazil earlier this month, McKenzie is eager to fight against tough South American opposition this summer. “I think we have a group of guys, we’re all hungry,” McKenzie told reporters Tuesday. “We’re all competitive and every time we step into this environment, I think the expectations rise. We demand more of ourselves and it makes us demand more of each other, and at the end of the day, that’ll raise performances and raise the levels here. “You step into a platform like Copa America and now you have a trophy on the line,” he added. “Everyone realizes what we need to do. It’s about putting together quality performances each step of the way, and from there we just continue to grow as a group.” At club level, McKenzie was one win away from being a Belgian Champion in 2023 but Genk’s quest of lifting the title fell just short on the final day of the season. Since then, he’s remained a stalwart in the Genk backline, but the club took a step back in terms of fighting for silverware on the domestic level. The 25-year-old logged 44 combined appearances last season, logging over 4,000 minutes of playing time. However, Genk finished fifth in the Belgian Pro League Championship Round, missing out on European Football for next season. McKenzie’s first priority this summer remains on helping the USMNT win the Copa America before starting a new chase for league success at Genk. “I think everybody realized that it wasn’t really about who was playing, it was more so about stepping up and doing your role to the fullest of your ability,” he added. “The results we couldn’t really control, and when you go through difficult stretches as well, it’s tough to find that form again. These are the years where we really learned the most about ourselves as players and people, and from there you can grow.” And apparently got married during the mini break the NT took after the Brazil match. Really miss the Orange Slices podcast, I enjoyed the inside look at young pros today from Mark and the back in my day from Heath Pierce. Plus Mark would get a lot of the current NTers and Heath would bring in the OGs. Man, never heard of that podcast. It was Mark and Heath as host? Yes, go back and listen to some of there interviews. I imagine scheduling got to difficult with Mark in Belgium and Heath working for Its Called Soccer. Not sure what Heath is doing now after they replaced him with Jesse Marsch doing the show with Jimmy and Charlie.

With 128 caps for Genk and international titles for the USMNT, McKenzie was on the radar of Europe's most ambitious clubs. The expectation was that he would move to the Bundesliga, where his ability to read the game, pass accurately and versatility in central defense would be highly valued. But, contrary to expectations, he opted to head south to a lesser-known club, but one with big ambitions: Toulouse.\n McKenzie's decision goes beyond the statistics. Sure, he's the kind of modern defender who not only defends tightly, but also takes an active part in the offensive build-up, something that any elite club would be looking for. However, when talking about his choice, McKenzie made it clear that his desire was not just to find a competitive club, but a project that matched his personal and professional ambitions.\n At Toulouse, McKenzie has found an environment that goes beyond the sporting aspect. He describes the club as a “family”, a place where each player has a defined role and where team spirit is what drives everything. That spirit, combined with the desire to face the best in Ligue 1, such as PSG, Monaco and Marseille, is what really sealed the deal for the American defender.\n For American soccer, McKenzie's move to Toulouse is a milestone. It's a choice that shows our players are thinking beyond traditions and are looking for opportunities where they can really make a difference. It's not just about the name of the club, but about the impact they can have and the evolution they can achieve.\n In the end, Mark McKenzie's decision is a victory for him, for Toulouse and, indirectly, for the USMNT. In a market where the most obvious is not always the best, McKenzie proves that true success lies in following one's own path, even if it is the least expected. And for American fans, we can only hope that this new chapter in France brings even more luster to this talented defender's career. USMNT defender Mark McKenzie opts for Ligue 1 when he signs for Toulouse, despite offers from German giants.
