Racing Genk has becoming something of a difficult government negotiations, the transfersoap around Alejandro Pozuelo. Also yesterday there was still no white smoke.

Alejandro Pozuelo got the training ground behind the Luminus Arena with a smile on. Hat on the head – even though the thermometer ten degrees. Philippe Clement took ‘Pozo’ again in his kv for the return against Slavia Prague, but he is not at the kick-off is expected.

Ninety miles away was Genkvoorzitter Peter Croonen, together with the president of Toronto FC, Bill Manning, and his right-hand man, general director Ali Curtis. They discussed in the Old Brussels Airport, the future of the Spanish playmaker. Although all parties are aware that a fast solution is desirable, there was still no white smoke. This morning, the negotiations between Genk and Toronto further.

Toronto FC is in the meantime as well as disabled in the American Champions League. The Canadians lost with 4-0 from Independiente from Panama. A very unexpected defeat. The question now is whether that something changes to Toronto’s negotiating strategy. They are more lenient and want them to participate in a deal with Pozuelo to may 7 at Genk?
