Konstantinos Karetsas transfer saga: Dortmund leads race as clubs debate €35 million price

Greek midfielder Konstantinos Karetsas, 18, remains a top target in the summer market. His club KRC Genk has set a €35 million asking price and a contract running to June 2029. Borussia Dortmund has made multiple offers, all rejected so far, and is seen as the front‑runner, especially after reportedly reaching a personal agreement with the player on a contract until 2031.

Chelsea, AC Milan and other Premier League sides such as Liverpool, Everton and Manchester City have also expressed interest. Genk’s sporting director Dimitri de Condé warned that the club will not sell for less than the valuation, and the negotiations are at a stalemate. The outcome will shape the young talent’s next step and could involve a larger bid from a rival club if Dortmund does not meet the price.
