""Genk has been an important part of my journey - a place where I learned, fought, made mistakes, and grew, both as a player and as a person," he began. "I am truly grateful to everyone who has been part of this path: the staff, my teammates, and all those who believed in me, even during the difficult moments," he added, signalling that his time with them had come to an end."
"With the player making such an open announcement about his transfer, one can expect the official announcement to arrive from both clubs in the coming hours, and for the deal to go through immediately. Onstein will begin playing for the youth team, but there appears to be little doubt that his signing has been made with greater objectives in mind."
Barcelona's financial constraints limit signing options, prompting the club to target young talents on the cusp of prominence. The winter transfer window has been used to reinforce Barça Atlètic and pursue additional arrivals before the deadline. Juwensley Onstein, a prodigious centre-back from FC Genk, attended Barcelona's recent match and posted a farewell on Instagram confirming his departure. He thanked Genk staff, teammates, and supporters, acknowledged growth through mistakes, and described the move as the right time to open a new chapter. Clubs are expected to announce the transfer imminently. Onstein will initially play for the youth team while remaining a potential first-team option.
