Genk club-trained players

On the record we can verify, 10 players club-trained at Genk now play for other clubs we track, led by Maarten Vandevoordt (RB Leipzig, value €16m), Kevin De Bruyne (Napoli, value €5m) and Timothy Castagne (Fulham, value €5m).

• Vic Chambaere · Union Saint-Gilloise · €2m

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
