MEXICO CITY -- Mexico international defender Gerardo Arteaga has agreed to join Belgium's Racing Genk from Santos Laguna.
The 21-year-old confirmed that Santos Laguna's 2-0 defeat at Cruz Azul in their Liga MX Apertura opener on Saturday was his last match for the club.
"I'm very happy. We've been in negotiations for a while but now it's a done deal," Arteago said in an interview broadcast on Mexican television on Sunday.
Local media said the full-back's contract with the Belgian Pro League side will run until 2025.
Arteaga has made 108 first-team appearances for Santos Laguna since his professional debut in 2016. He has been capped five times for Mexico's national team.
