Another Greek in their sights? BVB enquire about Christos Tzolis | OneFootball

As Borussia Dortmund look to strengthen their attack, the focus is reportedly on Konstantinos Karetsas, although an agreement with KRC Genk over a transfer for the Greek top talent is not yet in sight. However, Karetsas does not appear to be the only Greek player BVB are looking at.

According to Greek journalist Dimitris Manakos, BVB have also made enquiries about Christos Tzolis, who was already linked with a move to Dortmund in the autumn — though apparently without the best chances.

After two years at Club Brugge, Tzolis is planning the next step in his career, but he reportedly has very specific ideas about it. According to Manakos, the 24-year-old is determined to join Arsenal and is therefore not considering other options such as BVB at the moment. Other English clubs are also said not to be in the race right now for the winger, who made his mark in Germany with 22 goals and seven assists for Fortuna Düsseldorf in the 2023/24 season, even if it was only in the 2. Bundesliga at the time.

Tzolis and Arsenal reportedly already in agreement

According to several media reports in recent days, Tzolis has already agreed terms with Arsenal. However, with his contract in Brugge running until 2029, an official announcement can only come if the two clubs also reach a common ground.

A transfer fee of the equivalent of just over €40 million is being discussed for the 34-time Greece international. According to Manakos, a decision could be made by the middle of the week. If Arsenal and Brugge do not reach an agreement by then, other clubs could also have a chance. Whether BVB would then make a concrete move — or even be able to — is rather doubtful given the overall financial package.
