On 5 June 2019, whilst preparing with the national team for a double fixture against Jordan and Azerbaijan, Hrošovský was said to almost complete his transfer to Genk. Verbal agreement was reached despite issues arising, as Viktoria agreed to let him leave during the summer transfer period to help the club qualify to the Champions League group stage. Genk was said to oppose this arrangement, but the transfer was more than an agreement, as Plzeň agreed with Wolverhampton Wanderers on a two-year loan with an option to buy.
